Place and fortify worker beeples, collect pollen, win influence across floral realms, construct hive cards, and meet palace requirements for the most prestige.

Play cards for resources and actions, expand settlements across terrain, contest regions, acquire settler cards, develop permanent achievements, defend your people, and score territory, knowledge, and monuments.

Assemble six regions on the cloth mat, choose courts and creature factions, seed influence, reveal the round’s common actions, let one player divide them into two pacts, let the other assign the pacts, resolve cards and powers, then score region majorities after rounds three and six.

Coordinate turn-order risks aloud, build discard sequences that produce purposeful future hands, and decide early whether a Friend’s support is worth the extra Foe pressure it may invite.

Coordinate deck growth with board position; a powerful engine cannot rescue a Keeper if its agents arrive in the wrong district or one turn too late.

Operational tempo is the campaign: concentrate enough force to create a breakthrough, then protect supply and exploitation routes before the defender rebuilds a coherent line.

Build a village that can convert resources twice—first into reliable actions, then into offerings or scrolls—so no worker becomes stranded behind a single narrow plan.

Move for the modifier you need, not merely the shortest route: use buildings and trees to break line of sight, then concentrate several units on one exposed target before it can reposition.

Force the opponent to spend scarce actions clearing pressure; a modest local move can be stronger than a flashy event if it changes the end-turn resource balance.

Preserve command cohesion before chasing a dramatic charge; isolated units lose options quickly when momentum shifts.

Build one dependable resource chain before diversifying. An elegant production turn matters only if the next card, worker placement, or objective can actually use what it creates.

Secure dependable supply and preserve fresh formations before entering the dense central districts; an early tempo gain is rarely worth exhausting the units needed for the final objectives.

Map all four actions before committing to the first: acting early can reduce cost, but leaving one flexible slot helps answer a contested region or unexpected combat result.

Treat every sale as both income and tempo: improve the guilds whose powers chain together, then convert that engine into buildings before rivals profit from the same market.

Germany must keep the advance supplied and moving; the Allies should trade ground for time, anchor road junctions, and counterattack only when the odds justify it.

Plan each card around both its immediate action and the options it removes, exploit your Valkyrie’s unique power, and position for the next enemy pattern before committing to an attack.

Protect cohesion before committing to a major attack, preserve routes for delayed reinforcements, and treat every activation as part of a wider half-day plan.

Keep the party close enough to share items, plan around the automatic downstream drift, and save flexible actions for newly revealed threats.
