“Know what your tribe is good at ”

I’ve already suggested in another tip that you have at least one female and one male in your tribe. I also suggest that each gender specialize. In other words, any time a new recruit comes available that does the same thing as your male or female does (the gender has to match), make an effort to recruit that person. Remember, you activate one male type and one female type per round so the power of compounding really takes off. A specialized tribe is FAR more powerful and efficient than a well diversified tribe (your collection of powers might be neat but only one will kick off each round).

“Pick one or two areas and stick with them”

If you spread yourself too thin between different scoring options then you won’t be able to earn bonus points so it is really advantageous to pick one area, maybe two and stick with it. So if you start out scoring in temples, stick with it. If you start out scoring on man and woman tiles, stick with those. If you can complete one of these scoring areas 100% to earn the extra bonus, it will really help in the end.

Whatever you do though, always try to complete one of your green tiles each round. If you fail to complete two, it will be nearly impossible to win the game.

“Couples Produce Points”

There are lots of paths to victory in Bora Bora and you do not have to focus on population to win. However, not having at least one male and one female in your tribe means you are giving up a free bonus every turn that most of your opponents are getting.

“Build huts but make your big move at the end”

You can get some serious points by building huts and having them in scoring position at the very end of the game. If you have a few huts on the board before the last round, it can be advantageous to try to go last on the final turn. If you roll well, or have helpful cards (and offering tokens left), then you can do some serious expanding to take over all the regions with huts to earn you bonus points. Going last means no one can bump your huts before the final scoring.
