With all due respect, I sense some memory retro-fitting here. Basically Franks group, which I was in too, had just a very lame game. At least for me it was really lame, because no matter what you do, the card mechanic is pure "luck", as an earlier poster explained (and lauded to my utter astonishment).
When nothing I do has influence on the outcome, there is no fun for me. It??s just an excercise in pulling "kewl" ideas from your behind, working on the sheets handed to your group. It even doesn??t matter if your ideas are good or bad , plausible or not. Sure, through sheer luck, sometimes you are given power, and it can be interesting how the individual uses this power. But for me this total randomness is nihilistic and counter-civilizatory, which can be fun if you dig this stuff.
I just don??t.
