Common Beginner Mistakes

Mistake 1: Upgrading Landmarks Too Early

Problem: Landmark upgrades are expensive and drain your cash
Solution: Wait until you have enough cash to complete the entire board before upgrading

Mistake 2: Using Dice Multipliers Without a Plan

Problem: Multipliers cost extra dice, and blind usage wastes resources
Solution: Only use multipliers when 6-8 spaces away from a high-value target

Mistake 3: Ignoring Shields

Problem: Getting attacked without shields causes massive losses
Solution: Always maintain at least 3-5 shields

Mistake 4: Joining Every Event

Problem: Spreading dice too thin across all events slows progress
Solution: Focus on major events that match your current goals (board progress, album completion)
