“Counterculture Culture Counting”

Watch the Culture totals of your opponents. It’s nearly impossible to get ahead of someone on the Colonization track of a planet if they have the Culture available to follow your every move. If they get low or even drop to zero, you can bait them to use up their Culture points, then take advantage of the gap to move ahead.

Also, if you happen to be in a position where two or more of your ships are orbiting or landed on Culture planets, always follow a player’s use of a Culture die with your own — by spending one Culture, you will actually net points!

“Specialize in Resources in the beginning”

At the start of the game, keep both your ships on either Energy or Culture. That way you can build up your resources faster in one or the other to Upgrade your Empire. Once you upgrade your empire to level 3 and get your 3rd ship, then you can diversify.

“Get a good start”

If you’re not the first player to go and if someone plays the dice to upgrade their empire, make sure you use your 1 culture point to follow and upgrade your empire too. That way you will begin the game rolling 5 dice.
