4. Mentally calculate the tricks performed when choosing tasks. This is particularly helpful when there are multiple tasks of the same suit.
5. If you have 2+ rockets at 5players or in later missions, it may be a good idea to take a task of a suit that you do not have any cards of (or have just 1 of it). If you got only 1 rocket, TRY to avoid it.
6. If you have rocket 3 and rocket 4, play rocket 3 first as a means of communicating your rockets.
7. Draining rockets by playing them first is usually not a good idea.
8. In variants specific missions, put more value to later calls. They got more informations to make their choice.
