Quick winning principles
- Cards rotate: played card goes to opponent.
- Sacrifice student to advance master.
- Master to temple wins; student capture doesn't.
- Track which cards opponent will have next turn.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Card rotation prediction: when you play card X, opponent gets it next turn—don't play cards that give opponent winning move.
- 2
Student sacrifice: move student into capture to free master path—master win > student loss.
- 3
Master pathing: shortest path to opponent temple; 4-5 moves with correct cards.
- 4
Card denial: play card that would win for you but is useless to opponent when they receive it.
- 5
Temple control: occupy center for card flexibility; edge limits movement.
- 6
Endgame: when master 2 from temple, sacrifice both students to clear path.
