Well I just want to say that I started this thread about a week and a half ago and have been playing everyday since. In that time I have become extremely well acquainted with the game and have definitely started to pick out some advanced techniques. (at least to me) 
It is awesome how this game slowly opens up.
I just played a match and was able to guess my opponents score, to the number, after the second round of picking. Felt pretty good, even though I lost.

I like this idea because most of the time people drop out after the first round and they get a low number....atleast that's my interpretation. But this also is maybe a strategy/tactic that was intended by Jason or that alot of people like. Texas Hold em is the same with blinds and most people drop out before the actual ante.
I dont know where exactly I stand though, sometimes it is hard to find a game because of the state of the game right now which makes it a bummer when someone drops out right away.
It could be worth trying just to see how it works though.

I like that.

Just a possible suggestion for a button to toggle/rotate the board to give us the opponents view of the board mid-round? I know that you can just turn your head to see the opponents rows/columns but I think it would be nice to be able to see the opponents view normally. Anyone else agree?

One thing I was doing for the first 5 games was solely looking at the little number/odds on the right side of the board almost exclusively. It seemed like I would want to always just make my decision based on the best odds for myself. ANYWAY, my last 5 games I realized that I should maybe try to not look at that at all and just be more tactical with my decisions based on the game board. I have now won 4 out of my last 5 and although there is always many factors in to why I might be winning (new less-skilled opponent, luck, etc.) I think this greatly helped. I started to realize the strategy more when I didn't worry about the odds and just worried about the number tiles.

Am I right to think that the board layout for our opponent is the same, just rotated clockwise 90 degrees?

Awesome! Thanks so much everyone for the replies. Like I said I am just getting into this game and just wanted to put forward some immediate thoughts. I'm so glad to hear back from everyone and like I expected it seems like the game does a great job of opening up the more you play, like Castle Doctrine. I am still learning the in's and out's and look forward to more conversations with everyone about strategies in the future.
Best,
Seth

Yeah, I definitely agree that I enjoy the relaxed aspect of this game. Kind of reminds me of playing board games like go with my dad when I was a kid. I am trying to figure out what I can really do because right now I am just looking at the colors on the right and choosing what gives me the highest average.

Hello everyone, (and Jason)
Just played my first two games, as well as watched the intro video by Jason. I am just getting grips with the game and what the heck I am even trying to do. It seems a little hard to me right now what kind of strategies to try and imply. I understand I am extremely new to the game and strategies always begin to show themselves over time. Right now I am feeling kind of stuck though.
It seems like I dont have much choice in my score?? I mean I understand that I ultimately make the choice of which column I pick but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to really do and what kind of advanced moves I can do. Anyway, I am hoping I am not coming off totally negative cause I am honestly just trying to figure out and talk with the rest of you all about this interesting game.
When I was attempting to first play Diamond Trust and Castle Doctrine I could kind of instantly see that there were going to be lots of advanced techniques in the future. Right now I am just having a hard time understanding what I can "really" do affect the outcome of the game.
Best,
Seth
