In most games, the purpose is to outscore your opponent using the available ruleset. You can increase your chances of winning by either advancing your score, or reducing your opponent's score. Especially in a 2 player game this is a great tactic if the available options won't get you many points, bu...

Once you figure the game out you should basically win 100% of the time on standard (usually in just a few rounds). Keep trying to figure out how to optimize your moves. If it remains difficult and you very frustrated, maybe watch a couple replays of better players and think about what you would do e...

I completed all my B‑tier objectives and one A‑tier objective, earning 121 points, yet at final scoring, 126 points were deducted. Typically, winning only requires finishing one B‑tier and one A‑tier objective—this doesn’t make sense. I thought I’d done my best in single-player, but the final score...

It's so aggravating after having hovered around 300 ELO since I got there, albeit for only about four months since I joined in Jan., and now I'm around 165 and can barely ever win. It doesn't help that the game is often pitting me...

But the values are different - there is one line that says "segments during the game" and one "segments at the end of the game" and numbers in those lies are not the same I don't see any line that talks about VP for segments during the game, so I'm not sure what line you're refe...

It is impossible to state your preference and choose the color of your pawns?? You don't do it within the game. If you're a premium member (which it looks like you are), you can set site wide preferences in your user settings for color choices (that will work in games that support color choice and ...

By wording i think Kevri should get extra bonus from tropical resort ? Please clarify me :) Could you be more specific and add the in-game wording for these? I've played the game a decent amount (and own the physical game), but have no idea off the top of my head what the tropical resort bonus is o...

that the cube lock only persists till you can change the position by moving your own checkers. The cube lock as it is implemented at the moment works perfectly in the situation that you are on the bar and cannot move your checkers.
