POINTS CHALLENGE - You have just landed on a square requiring a points challenge, who do you challenge? If one of your opponents is close to winning DON’T challenge them, pick someone with less points or who is less skilled at the challenge than you are.

USING YOUR POWER PLAYER - You may choose to play this game aggressively; this can work to your advantage as you may be able to eliminate your opponents by taking away their puzzle pieces. BUT be careful, your opponents may gang up on you.

USING YOUR EXTRA POINTS PLAYER - Your Extra Points Player is very important. You can accumulate points very quickly when you use it for points challenges. This also makes your Extra Points Player a target for your opponents, especially if you are using it frequently.

ESCAPING YOUR OPPONENT'S POWER PLAYER - If you are being pursued by an opponent’s Power Player there are some things you can do, try to get back to your team square, make a break for the hospital, aim for the square which transports you to the other end of the board or look for the square which enables you to move to any space on the board.

YOUR OPPONENT IS CLOSE TO WINNING THE GAME - Don’t you hate it when that happens. All is not lost, create an ally in one of the other opponents, if the opponent closest to winning has lost a considerable amount of their puzzle or playing pieces go after their weakness and don’t challenge them to any points challenges.

SHORT ON POINTS- If you are lacking in points and need to do some serious scoring use your Extra Points Player but keep you Power Player close by and use it for protection. Your opponents will try to go after you but will also be intimidated by your Power Player.
