Early game is about board presence, not hero moves

Players lose consistency when they over-focus on one token too early. Better results usually come from developing multiple tokens so you keep options under changing dice outcomes.

Safe zones are tempo tools

Safe tiles are not only defensive shelters. Used well, they help you hold tempo until a high-value capture window opens.

Endgame mistakes are usually timing mistakes

Near home, many losses come from rushing entry order. Track both your remaining path and opponent threat lanes before committing final moves.
