Curse of Atlantis: Thorgal's Quest Hints
What are some strategies for winning at this game?
1 of 7: You always get the first move, and your strategy on that move is to put tiles in as many of the four center slots as you can (hopefully three of them). Your starting tile set is randomly chosen for each game, as is the set of four designs in the center of the table, so you may not be able to fill in very many (or any) of them at first.
2 of 7: Then you'll want to try to get the other slot(s) occupied by white tiles until all four are, giving you one of your three victories.
3 of 7: If a tile slot is occupied by black, you'll need two white tiles of that same design to turn that slot back to white. You put the first one on the space on your side near the slot in question, and the second one on top of the black tile, turning it white.
4 of 7: If a slot is occupied by white and your opponent places one black tile on his side of it, you can't get rid of that tile, so you might want to try to save two of that type of tile so you can retake the slot if he manages to take it. (On the other hand, if you keep tiles of that type around and he does an exchange move, he may get what he needs to take the slot. Fortunately, he seems to be pretty dumb on doing exchanges.)
5 of 7: Each player is allowed three sets of seven tiles to play with. The only way to get rid of a tile without drawing a replacement is to play it on the table. Both discards and exchanges get a replacement. When you use up all of your starting tiles, you get another set. When you use all of those up, you get your last set. If you use it up before anyone wins, the game's over.
6 of 7: If you have nothing good you can play, your first move on a turn should be to exchange one of your worthless tiles with the last one your opponent drew at the end of his turn. After all, he may have gotten something you can use (or that he can use and that you don't want him to use).
7 of 7: That's about all the tips I can think of. You just have to play the game for a while and get used to how it works. It'll take some serious time (or luck) to win three games, but you're bound to if you keep at it.
