Would you have any suggestions to provide such incentives? I've been relying on the cultural ones with some success but I admit that in the in-store demos I run, I often find some of the new players tend to hide behind their shields.

I suspect that giving an edge for 'cool actions' would be of use and be related to the size of the bid, the daring of the action and . All very relative, I know. I think it would work. I'm teaching the game at a local store on Saturday and will see how this variant goes and report back.
