“First and Last: Fill 'em Early!”

As you begin your initial tile placement, fill the Day 1 and Day 10 slots with countries as soon as possible . Even if everything else is completely out of order, you will have at least two out of eight tiles in place from the very beginning, and a tentative beginning and end to your 10 day journey. These two end points can then serve as guides for the rest of the journey’s tiles.

“10 Days in 10 Turns”

Okay, to be fair, you may not win after 10 or fewer turns with this strategy, but I often have done just that.

I find that taking your time with initial tile placement is by far the most important winning strategy of any of the versions in the 10 Days games.

If you want to come out the winner while playing any of the 10 Days games, you need to start off on the right track. As you take each tile for initial placement, carefully consider whether it would connect easily to other tiles you already placed and which method(s) of transportation will be needed to travel.

Taking the extra time to place as many tiles in a relatively ordered sequence from the start will (generally) save you a lot of hassle in the long run. You may still have to abandon some of these tiles if part of your strategy falls through (for example, if you can’t grab the right type of transportation tile), but at least you have a starting goal that the other players may not have. A simple act, but it can make a BIG difference in the long run.
