I see that Richard has already made a comment on this in another thread in the General section.http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/688185/4-5-player-game-r...
It's all down to personal preference. Personally, I like the clan Bruce in the 3 player game because it is powerful but has to be played early. No saving it until the last card played.
Richard offers 2 suggestions for the 4+ player game:
1) keep the clans in and allow them to be played at any time
or
2) remove them from them 4+ player game.
That caters for all tastes.
As an addendum, my suggestion was a compromise where the clan Bruce is included but is closer in nature to the 3 player game. It is now clear that this is a variant. Each to their own but I think the clan Bruce cards are too powerful to allow them to be hoarded and played as the last card in the round, without anyone being able to counter this play.
