STRATEGY TIPS
BEWARE THE DOUBLE WHAMMY
Whenever you capture a piece, make sure the piece you moved isn’t in a position where it can immediately capture one of your own remaining pieces (unless you’re happy enough making an exchange...).
EYES ON THE PRIZE
Keep in mind that the goal is points, not position. This is particularly vital in a four-player game, when two people can use the Double Whammy on each other to quickly trade pieces for points.
RUN FOR THE BORDER
If you’re ahead on points and low on pieces, try to end the game quickly by pushing your last few pieces across a canal.
