Yes, the standard number of artifacts in a 2p/3p game feels low, and I always play with an additional players' worth of artifacts at 2p and 3p. I think this game is best with 3 players, and all 12 major artifacts.

This game is like a drag race (the car kind). You begin the game with much more gas than you do in most euros, and you have to find ways to cheat the conversion of actions into resources as early as turn 1. Hibernating is like shifting gears in the analogy - if you ever find yourself doing a couple of mediocre actions instead of hibernating on your turn, you were likely better served hibernating and then having a crazy turn the next time.

It's such a sprint that there's usually only one player who gets to "go off". What I observe is that the tactics in the very early game are crucial; you have to make sure that you are the first player to get a large building down in a spot next to 3 terrains, or prevent another player from doing so.
