i love ya man but i gotta say no to the 10 card opening hand. with an 8 card limit it seems punishing as it may force a player to discard cards turn one and may make their heroes/evil characters/territory vulnerable prematurely. just my opinion! i say stick with 8.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it! blessings

I never would have guessed you only wanted 8 cards

I like it. Anything that makes at least +10 speed less of a requirement, or at least blunts its advantage, is good in my book. This has the further advantage of simultaneously allowing "yeah, but you have to draw it first" things to actually be viable. However, without an intro prep, I think its impact on the game would be negligible.
