	Do not ignore ~~either buildings or cards~~, they ~~are equally important for winning~~ the game.		Do not ignore Civilization Cards. In addition to the immediate gain of food, resources, etc. they contribute toward your score at the end of the game.

	~~'''Food''' is very easy to run out of~~, ~~try to increase your agriculture from~~ the ~~beginning without growing your population too early. Do this until like 30%~~ of ~~the game, only start growing population after that point~~.		The earlier you get new workers, increased food production, and tools, the more use you get out of them.

	~~'''Resources''': Try to collect as much wood as you can, you can use it for buying cards for~~ the ~~cheapest~~ price.		A Civilization Card that costs only 1 resource is always worth the price.

	~~'''Card Bonuses''': Stay aware of what bonuses (bottom half~~ of the ~~card) other players are collecting and which ones you can collect~~. ~~Building a strong set of Green culture cards or of a multiplier which matches~~ the ~~extras you have been gathering is a game changer~~.		Food is easy to run out of in the early game. For the first third, increase your food production without growing your population too early, then start adding workers.

	~~Multipliers are as follows based on~~ the ~~number of different icons you have in total: 1 = 1 Point~~, ~~2 = 4 Points, 3 = 9 Points, 4 = 16 Points, 5 = 25 Points, 6 = 36 Points, 7 = 49 Points and 8 = 64 Points. If you~~ have ~~duplicates, the duplicates start~~ a ~~new set~~.		Related to the above, starving your opponent out by preventing access to the Hunting Grounds (or making it so they have to spend all their workers there) is a valid strategy.

	~~‘’’Tools’’’: When deciding which meeples~~ to ~~use first~~, ~~try to use the meeples on the most expensive resource (Gold) 1st so~~ that ~~you have the most tools available, then use meeples on~~ the ~~next cheaper~~ resource~~. This ensures the most efficient tool usage. When gathering gold, make sure you have a lot tools available to overcome low dice rolls, otherwise you might not get any gold~~.		Use wood to buy Civilization Cards, as that is the cheapest resource.

	~~‘’’Building’’’: At~~ the ~~outset~~, ~~always~~ select the building that costs 1-7 resources. All you need is one wood ~~and you’ve got~~ a building. ~~You may need to grab that building as soon as possible because someone~~ else will surely grab it first if you ~~don’t~~. Don’t hesitate to place ~~meeples~~ on a resource your competitors need ~~for a building in order to block them from that resource if possible~~.		Prioritize your workers based on the stage of the game. Utilize the places in the village early, gain Civilization Cards in the middle, and buy buildings late in the game when you have many resources.

			Pay attention to when the game is ending so you don't get stuck with resources you could have used.

			Stay aware of what scoring bonuses (bottom half of the Civilization Card) you are collecting. Building a strong set of green culture cards or a multiplier that matches your stronger attributes (tools, workers, food production, etc.). A wide selection of cards is not as effective as cards that work together.

			In phase 2, choose the order of using your people carefully. For example, take a worker on a Civilization Card that gets you a tool before taking a worker from the quarry. That way you can use the tool you just gained if necessary.

			Take workers from the most valuable resource first so that you use your tools most efficiently.

			Always select the building that costs 1-7 resources. All you need is one wood to get a whole building. Someone else will surely grab it first if you don't. Don’t hesitate to place workers on a resource to block your competitors from getting something they desperately need.

	~~You want lots of food. If your people are fat, they count as two and will double production.~~

	~~Even more rare than the production of gold is the production of rock music. You can get this by combine 4 wood and 3 stone to make musical instruments. You must do this at the beginning of your turn.~~

	~~Production is overrated. Your people just want to eat and go to rock concerts.~~

	~~Science is important. Very important.~~

	~~You may think that researching fire is a good idea but then your dumb villagers will burn down their huts.~~

	~~This game isn't realistic. You don't need to think about replenishing your resources, just gather food.~~

	The biggest handicap in the game is if your villagers go gluten-free. Then you need to harvest hummus and carrots from the next village over. It's not pretty. To reach the next village, you need to build a bridge and that requires researching water production. This is where the not so pretty part comes in. In order to research water, a villager needs to be sacrificed to the water god.

	~~One important thing to note is that the person with the SECOND most victory points win!~~
