• With hops you can progress much faster than with single steps. Try to align marbles to create a "ladder" that enables a large series of hops. • Avoid keeping an isolated marble at the back. Catching up is hard. • Watch your opponents' moves. If you see them building a ladder, try to block them. • With 4 or 6 players, it's usually better to cooperate with the player in front of you at the start of the game. If you don't, your shared opponents - players on the sides - will probably progress faster than both of you.
