Two main aspects of strategy:

  1. Tile placement
  2. Building placement

Tile Placement

  • Place the same terrain type as other empty spaces already adjacent to one of your settlements (to maximise expansion with Hut​).
Example
Expand one settlement into all Sand​:

Volcano​

Hut​

  • Place Volcano​ away from your Hut​ that you need for a Temple​ until you can build the Temple​.
  • Place Volcano​ adjacent to opponents' Hut​ that they need for a Temple​ to prepare to destroy them.
  • Create empty spaces between tiles to limit an opponent's tile placement.
  • Consider how your opponent may use your tile. e.g. if you destroy Hut​, they may be able to place a level 3 tile and build a Tower​.
  • Expect opponents to destroy your Hut​ that you need for Temple​.

Building Placement

Temple​ are worth the most points at the end of the game.

  • Try to build 3-space settlements with Hut​ that cannot immediately be destroyed by an opponent.
  • Build settlements that can be easily separated from its Temple​.
  • Reusing a settlement is usually the most efficient way to build more Temple​.
Reusing settlements

Place Volcano​ adjacent to a Hut​

  • Place a single Hut​ next to a space that an opponent may erupt to level 3 to build a Tower​.
  • If a player erupts the land to level 2, an opponent may have the first opportunity to erupt to level 3 and build a Tower​.
  • The safest way to win Taluva is to build Temple3 and Tower2, but a skilled opponent will disrupt your plans.
  • Building all Hut20 before Temple3 or Tower2 is very risky - remember if you cannot build anything, you lose immediately!
