I spent so much time building up that by the time I acquired high cost cards and both high counsel and swordmaster, one other player had already reached way more victory points than me. The base game doesn't allow you to deckbuild much and go in depth before others win the game, so you're essentially playing with basic cards plus some other cheaper cards you happened to acquire for you to win the game. Also, intrigue cards can be hit and miss. One game I acquired alot of intrigue cards but they were mostly endgame cards that required certain conditions to be met. Meanwhile, other players are getting plot and tactician cards that win the victory points and here I am unable to meet the conditions because of losing battles most of the time.
Thanks. My partner and I played our first game last weekend. I played Paul, she played the beast. I think I got the hang of the battle loops first whereas I think she did better with the alliances and intrigue cards first. She picked up Gurney, The Kwisatz Haderach, and worm riders whereas I picked up Chiani, worm riders, and spice must flow. I led for most of the game but we both finished with nine victory points and she had a card that meant she won on spice. It was fun.
How about the big money strategy from dominion? Can it be used here? Essentialy you buy cards that give you lots of persuation and at some point you buy like 4 or 5 spice must flow cards.
I have tried numerous times high levels of persuasion and the most number of spice must flow cards I was able to buy before the game ended was three. I think it takes too long for this to be a strategy that you focus on.
the problem with the game is that you can't win without a heavy focus on combat, focusing intrigue or influence will lead nowhere and if you are late to the swordmaster game you might as well forfeit

Excellent strategy tips. I like that you gave several options so that if one doesn't work at the beginning there are others to fall back on.
Do a followup for Ix!
Very helpful and solid presentation. I’ll be watching this one again as I just purchased the game and hope to play with my group soon.
This is a very informative video. You basically expose all the inner gears of this wonderful game so I don't need to figure them on my own. Thank you.

You did a wonderful job of showing the possibilities within this game. Thank you!
Very, very helpful. I've only played D:I a coupel of times and while I understood the play mechanics I didn't have a clue on strategy.
Really solid video! I’ve played this game about 5 times solo and 5 times multiplayer and hadn’t thought of a few of these strategies.

Aamzing video!

Awesome and useful video. Your voice and the way you speak sound a lot like Jordan Peterson :)
I disagree. Jordan Peterson sounds unhinged.
