Strategy & tips

  • Strict variants punish rushing. Map your moves three ahead before committing - there's no rule-bending safety net.
  • Hidden boards reward probing the corners early - every card you uncover broadens the win path.
  • Hunt for the longest possible chain before tapping the stock - every card you skip in a chain is points lost.
