If you find that you’re at the end of the game with nothing left to do, gather some gems – they aren’t worth points themselves at the end, but if you can use them to “paint” some circles to make a completed circle (starting at the top for the maximum amount of points), they are absolutely handy.
The first few times I played, I missed this rule explicitly stated in the rulebook. If you build on the 5th level of your pyramid, you can either get the first three levels of rewards, or 15 VP. This can be very handy – the cost to build can absolutely be worth it.
If a card with a low number comes up it could be worth more to you. It could be used later to win any ties.
Remember to look at other players cards. If they already have a 1 or 2 there is no sense in overpaying for a 3 or 4 unless it really improves your hand.
One strategy is to have more cards and build the largest pyrmid. Thighs will not always win but it will help you stay in the running and win more than other strategies.
Build higher rather than wider on you pyramid. More points and items on higher levels.
