By golly you're in luck!  Just play FT as your manual reads.  For those
who
like to tinker with the rules, we love the game as well.  I think FT
will
always stay simple and fun as Jon intended it to be.  I met Jon last
GenCon
and he really likes to hear about our ideas and suggestions, but I
really
doubt he would let the game turn into SFB or something.
