I learned of this game through BGA and I love it. One of my new favorites by far.
I find 2-player a bit boring and very chance driven: if your opponent has a similar set of stops to you, they can easily win the game well before you're even starting your race and there's no contest. But in 3-person, there's at least usually 2 players competing for the win, keeping it a fairer game. It's been rare for me that only one of three players is doing their race and wins before others start.
I think this player number change, as well as the ability to play the game out for second/third/fourth/etc places generally as suggested by other forums, would make arena mode so much more fun next season!
