It's never going to be the most strategic game and sometimes you get dealt a bad starting hand, but you can usually overcome a bad starting hand over the course of a game. We've also found that the game is best if you count scores over 10 games instead of just one. This will even things out.

One of the reasons my wife and I enjoyed the game so much was that it was simple, fast and not that competitive. Not for a pair of hard core gamers.

Hammer of the Scots was one two player game I enjoyed more for the advanced gamers.
