We have been playing correctly, it's just that the Point Collectors have a bit too much success in our games.But Jorgen's experience seems to be quite different. Maybe, in our games we don't team enough against the player currently in the lead. But you know it's not so easy, because everyone has their own view of "correct" strategy and some just ignore the fact that 1 player is a huge threat. Power Up expansion sounds like a necessity (at least for our group) if it improves the damage effects and makes the leader's life harder.
Another problem I have with KOT is: Cards are cool but they just don't get much use. There are lots of them and many of them aren't that powerful and are never bought by anyone, also most people aren't willing to spend 2 energy cubes to sweep them off. It's expensive and you are likely to get another 3 so-so cards.
Collecting energy seems to be the weakest available strategy, it just doesn't win as often as point collecting. I've seen the variants that double the energy you get or give you some starting cards etc., but don't know if it would help much and it could unbalance the game in another direction.
