My wife and I just just started playing a variant where you do not gain a star for entering Tokyo and you only get one star per turn while in Tokyo (not two). It works great. It makes it more likely that you will have to leave Tokyo at least once or twice during the game. Also, card play played a bigger role using this variant. Probably because the game is a little longer this way. It made the game much more fun for two.
