Tips dragonwood

Basic Strategy

Get useful enhancements such as the Clock of Darkness, Sliver Sword, Bucket of Spinach or Ghost Disguise as soon as possible. You will find them useful later.
After you get 1 or 2 enhancements, you should try to capture as many creatures as possible. Even if the score is low, getting a lot can help you to get the final bonus.
When the dragon is near (<10 cards left), reload to prepare for it.
Probability is important! While this is a game of luck, knowing some probability can help you to decide how many cards should be played and which capture method to use.

If you have less than 4 cards, it is highly suggested to reload.
If you cannot decide on a good target, reload.
If you are preparing for an important target (e.g. cloak of darkness or a dragon) but it doesn't appear for now, reload.

If you have a nearly full hand, usually you will capture.
Since the average roll of a dice is 2.5, if you have a good combo (half the points needed), capture.
If an opponent is planning to take a card (and you have a chance to get it), capture.

Chances: Getting a 3-card strike with 3 cards is 3.7%, while getting a 3-card scream with 3 cards is 3.2%. However, getting a 2-card stomp with 3 cards is 19.6%--maybe good to aim when the capture value is low!
Capture Value: For 8 of the landscapes strike has a higher value than scream, for 8 of the landscapes the opposite, and for the rest the same. Therefore they are of equal balance. Stomp has a significantly lower number, therefore for some cards it is more appealing.

If the game is going to end soon, surely they are a bad choice. Don't even think about it.
But at the beginning of the game, you can calucate the potental number of captures to make by (score of creature of same value)/(bonus/1.7).
For exapmle, for magical unicorn, if you will use it for at least 5 times it is good, otherwise leave it away.
Overall, enchantments are appealing but not overwhelmly so.
