What's your feeling on game balance?

I played this half-a-dozen times on a friend's copy, and we enjoyed it, but we never saw Jack win. He came close, a few times, but most games he never really had a credible threat.

This was really the main reason I didn't end up buying it - it wasn't inherently fun enough to play if one side was going to be greatly favored (the theming here is pretty thin).

It might just be one of those things, where there was a trick to playing Jack that we didn't discover, but it didn't seem like it was all that complex a game.
