Collect Strategy Tips
1. Always Take Crocodiles - Your opponent can use a crocodile to disrupt your collection, I recommend taking them even if they aren't needed to add to your own collection.
2. Watch Discards - Remember what you or your opponent discards in case it helps you to get the animals you need.
3. Cheat the Parrot - If your opponent discards a parrot onto pile A, you can draw from pile B and immediately discard back into pile B to give you info on what to ask for with the parrot, thus netting you two cards!
4. Beware Chameleons - Taking a chameleon can really help your collection, but it can also block your draw options if another one comes up.
5. Block with Chameleons - If your opponent already has a chameleon, you can discard one to block drawing from one of the piles.
6. Reposition - Use either the crab or the monkey to reposition your cards. The monkey's initial placement is key!
7. Be Strategic - Remember that you don't always have to use the animal's ability.
