Thermopyles...

[Pisaac]

I am wondering about tactics for how to win this game. I mean I see people with like 6,000 rankings, and one in the 10,000s, and it's impossible for me to win once! I need some tactical help here...

Oh, and one more question:
Why do different people have different shields, like one of them is just grey, and the other is silver with different shades.

You have to use the location bonus on 3 and 6. if you fight there you always get an extra die without having to play one of your four dice cards. In the game you linked you fought a lot of battles on space 5 which is exhaustive for you as it doesnt give the extra die. Try to play a game and not fight a single battle on spaces 1,2,4,5. You should do a lot better. Also when you are offered to draw a new card you should maybe accept more often as you can also run out of fighting cards on your hand even though there are some left on the pile.


The shields (default avatars) were the grey ones for a long time, then the default avatar got changed to one that looks a bit more 'stylish', so the players with the silver shield are newer to the site than the ones with the grey shield

Thanks! I will try it, and I guess the shield thing seems reasonable...

Thanks so much! I won my first match!
