Tips

• To note at the beginning:
  • Forest location tiles – which are good value?
  • Events on offer – what do they require? what is their reward?

• Dungeon is great mid to end game for getting low value critters out of the city and reducing costs of new cards
• Husband and Wife only take up 1 space in the city
