Collect Strategy Tips

1. Always Take Crocodiles - Your opponent can use a crocodile to disrupt your collection, I recommend taking them even if they aren't needed to add to your own collection.

2. Watch Discards - Remember what you or your opponent discards in case it helps you to get the animals you need.

3. Cheat the Parrot - If your opponent discards a parrot onto pile A, you can draw from pile B and immediately discard back into pile B to give you info on what to ask for with the parrot, thus netting you two cards!

4. Beware Chameleons - Taking a chameleon can really help your collection, but it can also block your draw options if another one comes up.

5. Block with Chameleons - If your opponent already has a chameleon, you can discard one to block drawing from one of the piles.

6. Reposition - Use either the crab or the monkey to reposition your cards. The monkey's initial placement is key!

7. Be Strategic - Remember that you don't always have to use the animal's ability.

==== '''Tembo Strategy Tips''' ====

'''1. Communicate with Your Team'''

- Use the chat to coordinate actions and avoid disrupting your teammates.

- Always announce matriarchs, because they affect everyone.

- Coordinate expanding the savannah in areas that will remove elephants until a teammate is out of elephants.

'''2. Use Matriarchs Wisely'''

- Use the matriarch for objectives or tree energy when possible.

- Wait to play the matriarch if your energy is too low.

- Don’t hold them too long, drawing a second matriarch costs extra energy.

'''3. Watch Your Energy'''

- If your energy drops below six, you are risking being wiped out by a double matriarch.

- Don't forget, each tree color can only be used once between matriarchs!

- Collect tree energy between matriarchs, but don’t run yourself out of cards.

'''4. Beware the Lions'''

- Losing a few elephants is fine, just don't let the lions eat too many at once!

- A matriarch in the lion region can reduce losses, but it’s risky because every teammate loses an elephant.

Chipcarver: Adjusted so the numbering shows.

1. Mark Blanks - Don't forget to mark blank spaces! This can eliminate positions and reveal the solution faster!

2. Think ahead - Be aware of possible positions for each gem, not just positions that have been verified.

3. Take Educated Guesses – If there are 2 or 3 possible answers, go for it, because your opponent will be able to discard at least one of them on their next turn!

1. If you can't decide, pick the next available tile. This may allow your opponent to reveal new options for your next turn.

2. Prioritize your required colors, especially if opponents need the same colors.

3. Tiles with no dots or numbers may come in handy when playing X tokens.
