Strategy Tips From DeBroglieLouis

1. Look at the opening board to see what combination of tiles you may be able to build in the first four moves.

2. You are trying to average more points per turn than your opponents. So... prioritize your next tile selection in this order. FIRST, look to strengthen the combination you are building. SECOND, look to position yourself in an optimal turn order for future tile selections. THIRD, consider if you can block your strongest opponent from getting more than 10 points. FOURTH, choose a color tile that you have not yet gotten to avoid the -10 point penalty at the end of the game. FIFTH, consider how the active card may affect your points this round. LASTLY, consider the number of farmers or chests on a tile.

3. Farmers and chests can be a helpful addition to your existing combinations but don't over prioritize them when selecting tiles.

4. Keep an eye on your opponents. If you can block them without slowing down your own progress, then do it.

5. Keep an eye on the cards. If you can change the order in which you collect some of your tiles, you may be able to gain just enough points from these cards to win in a close game.
