			==Objectives/Taking cards during age 2 (2 players)==

			This is a pretty important part. Your goal is to play on a way to maximise your chance of winning:
			* if you have taken advantage of +1 invention finished, you usually have a lot of tokens remaining. So try to take 1 or 2 cards during age 2, which will still give you an edge of +2 or +1 if both games are 'perfect'.
			* try to never be on a spot where you need to finish 3 inventors, or you have place for no useless token left in age 3.
			* try to force the opponent to take a specific number during age 3, or to make him have no place for an useless token at the start of age 3.
			* don't let the opponent goes away with a chance to finish a single inventor at the end of the game.

			You really need to adapt to what the opponent do, and, at least at lower level, try to find a way to get any +3. That's really not hard.

			==Which inventors to do? (2 players)(advanced)==

			[Like the 'Count his points' said, the goal is not to try to finish our inventors which has value of 9 and 6 vp, but to finish the minimum amount of inventors possible (without wasting tokens).
			That means a player which are doing his 6vp+9vp inventors, will have the same amount of points of a player which has done his 3vp+9vp, and has left a 3vp token. And they have the same points than someone which has done 9vp inventors, got an useless token at the end, and got two cards (5&5) at age 3.

			From that, your goal it to force the opponent to not finish only one inventor. So you need, if he tries to finish only his 9vp's one to force him to get any no 2vp/3vp token with it, which will in all cases give him a -3 points. Forcing it to take a second token will not do much. Usually, he will be able to do any 3vp inventor with it. But if he can't do anything with the two tokens it's -6vp, so it's great.

			On top of that, don't do your inventors asap. You have sometimes (especially with the green) the possiblity to commit into one specific inventor when you can: finish an invention alone, take the majority on an important invention, or just gain a slight advantage somewhere else.
			Choosing which inventors to do at the start of an age is really good: it let you adapt to which inventions and reward there is on this age. Like if there is three inventions with a '3', you are sure to get one of them. So you can commit on an inventor which need a '3'.
			Keeping all tokens until the end of the game is sometimes not bad neither. It let you sometimes, per example with the green and 2/2/3 tokens, letting the opponent take an invention with a '4', and be fine with two differents rewards on it: the '4' or the card. At the cost of having more difficulties to get majorities on that age because you are missing a full inventor.]


			==Others (2 players)==

Plan your contributions to inventions based on which tokens you need for the first two ages. These should be dedicated to finishing the inventors with the big bonuses and snatching up an occasional 2 or 3 point ribbon. In the third age, you want to focus on taking inventions because the inventions make you gain a number of points equal to the age.

			Usually try to not use the effect of your tokens, and not use a star. If you can use them as a '1' and not have anything leftover at the end of the game, you would be on a good spot to win.


			'''Refreshing inventors'''

			A lot of new players are afraid to refresh inventors before using all four. Don't be. Refreshing inventors with one or even two left can serve several strategic purposes:

			1) It allows you to more frequently use inventors with 4/5/6 units of knowledge instead of doing the best you can with the inventors with only 2

			2) It can allow you to play consecutive/nearly consecutive turns when other players need to refresh their inventors at the same time.

			3) Especially at the end of the second age and later on, refreshing your inventors can save the most knowledgeable inventors for when they can be most beneficially used. Ideally, you want your most helpful inventors available at the beginning of the third age, when they will be most efficiently used.


			'''Using knowledge effectively'''

			1) If you want a specific reward, you can try to incite the player after you to play on it too:
			-Either by making it the only player which can play on it (on this case, pay attention if he could play somewhere else and make that invention the last one of the age)
			-Or either if the second reward is still fine, if your next player got nothing else to do, he would want to goes on it.

	~~The tokens you~~ want ~~to use as ones~~ (~~remember, every token has a one on~~ the ~~back) are~~, in ~~order of preference:~~		Always keep in mind that second player can play on it twice and lose one turn to get the reward he want (usually the case with tokens 2/few useful, but I personnally don't advise it in most cases).

	~~-Numbers that you don~~'t ~~need for your big bonuses~~		2) At age 2, cards aren't bad. They are not the best reward, but do not hesitate to take lot of them if you have the opportunity too (more infos in the 2 players part)

	~~-Additional knowledge~~ and ~~free refresh tokens~~ (~~the coffee~~ and ~~the chocolate~~)		3) At age 3, if you are missing one number left, see which players absolutely need it too, which players can be fine with it, and which player don't want it at all. Once it's done, if it seem you will get one of them easily, do not play on this invention first, but play on other ones.
			Usually you will only need the second reward on this invention to take this number (and in worst case, you still get a card then).

	~~-Stars~~

	~~-One victory point tokens~~

	~~-Two and three victory point tokens if they are the only way to get a bonus big enough to use them~~

			* +3 per invention finished alone
			* -3 if you have finish 3 inventors, +3 if you have finish 1 (-6 for 4 inventors \| +6 for 0)

			Note it's better to take -1 by taking a card during age 2, instead of taking -3 by having an usueless token at the end.
			And a card taken during age 2 which is part of a serie at the end of the game will make you lose no point overall.

	~~2) It can allow you to play consecutive/nearly consecutive turns when other players need to refresh their inventors at the same time.~~		'''Finish an invention alone'''

	~~3) Especially~~ at the ~~end of~~ the ~~second age~~, ~~refreshing your inventors can save~~ the ~~most knowledgeable inventors for when they can be most beneficially used~~. ~~Ideally, you want your most helpful inventors available at~~ the ~~beginning of~~ the ~~third age, when they will be most efficiently used~~.		It's the goal at 2 players. Doing that without the opponent be able to do the same will make you gain +3 (while if you take a 3vp token you will gain 3vp, but the opponent will get a reward which usually value at least 2vp).
			Always keep an eye on the invention the other player can finish in 2 (or 3) inventors for being able to not let him do it.

			'''Using the tokens effects'''

	'''~~Using knowledge effectively'~~''		Contrary to 3+ players, you can use them a lot. To do that, you need to finish an invention alone with it. You will lose the initiative on most inventions, but be able to remove one useless token from your bank.
			Instead of doing it, you can use it as a '1', which is identical.
			You can use it as a place 'not much useful' too (like a 2 on Einstein). If you finally do Einstein, you will gain +3 extra. If you finally don't do it, it will be neutral.

	~~-Spread out your knowledge! Don~~'~~t get too focused on one invention...spreading out your knowledge gets you more bonuses. Remember that once you have the majority of knowledge on an invention, the~~ ''~~only~~'' ~~way you should play anything else on it is to make sure it isn~~'~~t the leftover invention at the end of the round.~~		'''Others'''

	-It ~~stinks~~ to ~~get shut out~~ of ~~an invention, but don~~'~~t waste an inventor just to get something~~ you ~~don~~'~~t need~~. ~~Always ask~~ the ~~most effective place~~ to ~~play an inventor, and don't let emotion overcome reason~~.		1) During age 2, the card with a number low are really not bad. They give 2 victory point and can mek you gain bonus points or use a star effeciently.
			2) It's not always useful to finish his inventor which only have value of '6vp' if you only put one token on it. If you finish your '9vp' one and nothing else happen, it will be neutral.
			3) Finish an invention early can force the opponent to do a choice more early. Warning to not being able to finish one of your invention if you do that though.
