Tips thecrew
These tips are a big summary. There are lots of exceptions.
1. Do NOT take tasks of low values if you have that card. 2. Do NOT communicate if you see no problems in achieving the task. Reserve communication for problems. 3. On the other hand, don’t try to keep your communication for later. If the game could be lost in one trick, usually communicate immediately. 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. 9. If you get your own task, you can communicate your lowest card (if it's not a task hold by another player) to ask other players to discard this suit in priority.
