Jump to this section
Use cheap worker spaces before they inflate
Action-space cost rises as workers accumulate. Take critical actions before opponents make them inefficient.
Rotate fields instead of exhausting them
Continuous planting can reduce future efficiency. Alternate crops and fallow timing so field strength supports later rounds.
Build toward Community Center payments
Know which goods your next building movement requires and produce them deliberately.
Cards should overlap
Choose card goals that reward the same crops, livestock or development pattern.
Sheep need a timing plan
Keep them when reproduction or card scoring matters; convert them when capacity or endgame timing makes holding less useful.
Final rounds: direct progress beats infrastructure
Late engine upgrades need immediate payoff. Prioritize Community Center movement and completed card scoring.
