Or either '''you aren't safe''', again two situations: either you have an high chance to lose a stealth, on that case your main goal is usually to find a way to be safe, that can be by drawing an event, moving to unknown tiles even in your third or forth action if you aren't safe, triggering an alarm and going back to where you are, limiting the risk by ending your turn in a safe or mostly safe tile... Or either you have a moderate chance to lose a stealth, and want to limit your risk while still doing something useful.

Floor 1 is pretty free (at least in 1 or 2 players) since the guard only moves 2 per turn. So taking even a small risk in that floor can be not optimal.

	Triggering alarms isn't always bad. You can trigger an alarm to lead the guard away from his destination.

Pay attention to the guard and his destination, make sure you are not on his path which is shown on the floor map. If multiple players are on the same floor as you the guard is going to move in between each players turn. If you are on the first floor and playing with 3 other players and the guard moves 2 tiles after every player you want to be at least 6 tiles away from the guard or get on the next floor as soon as possible to reduce the number of times the guard will move in between player turns.

If a guard is going to find another player try to trigger an alarm that moves the guard away from the player or move to another floor if possible. Spreading players out on different floors slows the guard down.

Use the patrol deck to know which tiles the guard has already visited if you need somewhere to "hide".

Add hack tokens to computer tiles when you discover them because most likely you will be unable to go back and add them later when the guard has increased movement.
