The game is a race. If the second winter card is out and you are ahead, try to increase your lead than prepare for a big turn you might not get to play.
	~~# It is as important to keep~~ cards your opponent wants away from them~~, as it is to score big points for yourself~~. Be aware of what your opponents need.
	# To do this you can discard those cards when the clearing ~~(enough to get to 10 and clear it)~~ or their hand ~~are~~ full ~~(9 or 10)~~.		Keep cards your opponent wants away from them. Be aware of what your opponents need. To do this, you can discard those cards when the clearing or their hand is full.
	~~# It is often worth your while to wait~~ a turn ~~and~~ gain the right colors~~, in order to be able to~~ use a card's bonus.
	# Moles can overturn games with huge turns~~, to~~ set it up, make sure you have trees with room and a full hand.		Waiting a turn to gain the right colors so you can use a card's bonus is worth it.
	~~# Free-~~turn cards can help you clear a ~~seemingly~~ full hand before picking up something an opponent discarded ~~thinking you could not grab~~.
	# The most points ~~that can be achieved in the game is if you get all of the~~ deer and wolves. You do not need to play a deer+wolf strategy to win, but you will lose if you let your opponent have all ~~the deer and wolves~~.		Moles can overturn games with huge turns. To set it up, make sure you have trees with room and a full hand.
	# Other powerful ~~cards to build a game around~~:
	#* Beech Martins - play them while filling all 4 sides of trees		"Take an extra turn" cards can help you clear a full hand before picking up something an opponent discarded.
	#* Tree Ferns ~~- Play them with~~ Toads ~~and~~ Salamanders
	#* Goshawks ~~- Play them while playing lots of other birds~~		The most points come from deer and wolves. You do not need to play a "deer & wolf" strategy to win, but you will lose if you let your opponent have them all.
	#* Oaks/Strawberries - Play them while getting all 8 species of tree
	#* European Hares - Red Foxes: ~~Generally a less power combination~~ than deer +wolves, but ~~can~~ still ~~get you a number of~~ points ~~if lucky~~. (Combine with a Silver Fir for more ~~points, and~~ a mole to play the hares quickly)		Other powerful card combinations:
	#* Chestnuts - ~~playing a lot of these is a good~~, especially if you can ~~all~~ get ~~the~~ orange Roe deer.		* '''Beech Martins''' - play them while filling all 4 sides of trees
	#* Sycamores + Red Deer - Play a lot of trees with these		* '''Tree Ferns + Toads/Salamanders'''
	#* The right ~~mushrooms~~ can help boost any of these strategies ~~powerfully~~.		* '''Goshawks + Other Birds'''
	# Secondary strategies include:		* '''Oaks + Strawberries''' - Play them while getting all 8 species of tree
	#* Butterflies + Hedgehogs		* '''European Hares + Red Foxes''': Less powerful than deer+wolves, but still good points. Combine with a Silver Fir for more. Use a mole to play the hares quickly.
	#* Bats ~~and~~ Dormice		* '''Horse Chestnuts + Roe Deer''' - the more you play, the more points you get, especially if you can get an orange Roe deer.
	#* Lynxes ~~(compliments 🦌 🐺)~~		* '''Sycamores + Red Deer''' - Play a lot of trees with these
	#* Mosses		* '''Mushrooms''' - The right ones can help boost any of these strategies.
	# Easy to ~~forget~~ Rules		Secondary strategies include:
