The official variant still doesn't work as well as I have liked. My house rules tweak works in spades better (imo) than the official rules, and slightly better than the official variant. But that just may be me...
Here's my variant:
Play as normal except that scoring cards can be paid for only once per turn, but you don't count it as an action for that turn. Using this rule allows you do set yourself up some scoring opportunities -and- actually score it before someone screws it up for you, but it can get expensive to score often, so pick and choose carefully.
You could also use the official variant with this variant, but not needed imo. The official variant loses some of the flavor of the original gameplay (that of scoring all, so you have to be careful when to score, so it doesn't help "too much" if it does help. With the official variant you could score only areas you can score in only, and that is not in the flavor of the game imo.
Tried the Official Variant. It does work, but it is not the same game. It feels like an ordinary area influence boardgame. It still feels dry in either case, but it worked out better than the original rules.
