Number one thing is that you roll good. Win the game with points. Get points with excellent dice rolling.
Don't get too caught up in upgrading your dice, but don't get caught up in buying cards either. The die is a means to an end, but also the beginning. Each round you upgrade your die is a round you aren't buying points, but each round you're buying points you're not upgrading a die. There are only so many card to buy, and so many rounds in a game, but it's a game. Upgrading to a perfect die might be good for a 12 round game with 2x as many cards to buy.
If you are upgrading your die with gold faces, you need to get a gold>points card.
I've never seen a point faces strategy work, but I have yet to play the game. It seems like it should be possible. The problem is it requires 3x faces, which cost 5 moon shards already. So you need to upgrade gold faces first, then buy moon and point faces, to then get the 3x face, and then reroll powers, and then hope you roll good. In the meantime opponent is getting 26pts/turn consistently.
