^Well, I would defer to the following words of wisdom.
Honestly, it holds true for Pandi as well. I've been able to use her and her crew to draw games I should have lost and won games I should have drawn. Not because I was neccesarily able to annihilate the opposing crew, but because I was able to screw with the opposing crew's ability to score VP's.
It's that game-within-the-game which makes Pandi truly fun to play, win, lose, or draw.
