So, a common gripe with all players is bad starts and groupings of dice. So, what do you do when you open up with all thee stacks on opposite sides? Or a player 5v5's you leaving you with a meager collection of two and three stacks? Or just as bad: A decent start with good stacks, but you're surrounded by equal or taller dice.


My basic strategies:

1. Since your first goal is to connect to get some ground, find your tallest stack. Usually, luck won't be too cruel to you and you'll have at least a three to work off of. Search for an easy win, like a 3v1 or a 4v2, and start from there. But beware: watch out if you're between another player's connecting path or next to a taller stack. Usually restacks are kind.

2. Just restack. Sometimes, the action will play out and you will find yourself with a wasteland of lost attacks from surrounding players that are open for you to claim.

3. Go for broke. If what's separating you from a good connect is a four or five stack and you have equal or one under, shoot yer' dice and pray. you'll be surprised.
