Strange; I went through a phase where I was damned and determined to use
the Fat Man in two-player. It works pretty well, once you stash a lot
of Blindsideds and Security Consultants. (Yes, your opponent's Elite
Security Mage is ideal in this situation.) Agreed that it seems best in
a multi-player game; I was splitting hairs rather fine (looking for
cards that worked really only in multi-player and not at all in
one-on-one.)

I've been working on some tourney rules of my own, which should be ready
in another week or two.
