  • Use your big pieces to grow your snake, and small pieces to block your opponent's snake
  • Try to maximize number of turns where you grow your snake while blocking your opponent at the same time - you only have 7 turns, so squeeze as much as possible from each of them!
  • When building a snake, try to always have 2 options of where to continue - when opponent blocks one, you can continue with the other one
  • All the places around the body of opponents snake are reserved for you - opponent can never place tiles on those places. Plan ahead with this in mind
  • As second player, you have 1 piece fewer than your opponent. You can start with a big tile, but if both players manage to build a snake from all their pieces, the starting player wins. This pushes the second player to play a bit more offensively
  • The U piece is great for completely blocking one end of opponents snake, but can also be used to gain a lot of length in tight spaces.
  • The L piece is the most versatile piece with its 12 possible orientations. It is usually better to save it for later when you can use its flexibility the most
  • The 2-piece is great for connecting two snakes in tight spaces
