Arctic Scavengers - Tips & Strategies

Since building up your tribe numbers equates to victory points, it is important to consider building up large point cards to build up your tribe. Group Leaders, Sniper Teams, and best of all, Thugs will build up your poits in a way that you can’t always get from Contested Resources. Don’t get me wrong, Contested Resources can be great but if you are spending all your resources in concentrating on the skirmish against other opponents for a fight that you may or may not win, consider buying these guaranteed tribe members instead. When I play in our group, I have a few members that focus heavily on contested resources, they are always surprised when I focus on hiring these high valued specialists and end up winning. Remember its all about collecting high point valued tribe members.

You can decide that skirmishing wont happen for more than the first two rounds, maybe even five rounds. This gives everyone a little more time to build their deck and feel like they’ve accomplished a little more before going skirmish heavy. This will make the game a little longer but I think it will be ok if that means some players can get the cards and buildings they want and can actually see them used in the game instead of finally acquiring them at the end and never being able to use them.
