We also thought drafting would fix this game.
However, it really just turned it into 5 games of solitaire.
I had an idea this morning on the walk to the train.
Bidding!
We all bid on the Engine we want, with a rotating Starting player gettinging 1st bid.
You only get to bid upto the points you have, and when everyone has a different Engine you pay the price in points.
This does not fix the timer problem though, where it takes one player 15 minutes to get their engine down.
I'm thinking a timer like in Roborally. When the 2nd last player is done a timer starts - if they haven't finished in 2 minutes, they throw the engine.
