Money is very important early, as early buildings can accrue a lot of advantage. Trader or Prospector for 3 or even 2 total coins can be a powerful move early in the game.

Try to pick roles that are better for you than everyone else - i.e. Builder when you have the most money, Trader when you are the only person who can sell, Mayor when there's an uneven number of colonists, or Captain when your opponents have goods they want to sell.

== Buildings ==

* Large warehouse is the most unused building in a game, there is little merrit to build it.
* University effective for the last round, if you build a large building and there won't be a mayor to activate it. And is you have a colonist on a sugar plantation and you build a sugar mill. Now you produce sugar.
* Guild hall is generally the best large building, it almost guarantees 7-8 points and 9-10 points are possible. All other can't reach more than 7-8.

Blackbearpower1: Added some tips.

If you are a beginner, focus on acquiring a variety of resource cards (brown and silver cards). This strategy will not require you to analyze your opponents' boards or strategies as much.

If you go the economic route by focusing on yellow cards, pay attention to the people next to you. Some wonders (Alexandria, Olympia B) can do very well with very few resources, so trading posts to those wonders will be almost useless. Some wonders (Giza, Rhodes) do especially well with many resource cards, so trading posts to them will typically be very useful.

Watch out for people who build many green cards. Green cards are high risk, high reward. They have to complete sets of three different symbols. Look at their boards to see which symbol they need to complete their next set, then take those cards yourself, before they can acquire them. If building the green card won't help you, then use it to build your wonder or get three coins instead.

Don't build too many red cards. Whether you beat your opponents 10 to 1 or 2 to 1, your point rewards are the same. The turns you spend beefing up your already-powerful army may be better spent on other cards.

Side B of Wonder is better than side A, even though it is normally harder to build, it’s true for all cities in most of scenarios.

Try to never be short on money. When you are short on money it leads to not being able to get the cards that you want and therefor it leads to losing. It also makes trading post useless because you don't even have one coin to use.
