Grampus Strategy
Grampus is about choosing the right build rhythm for each lane.
The one-step or two-step tableau choice creates unusual flexibility. Wins come from aligning that flexibility with seeded foundation targets while preserving reserve cells for true conversion points.

Core strategic model
Grampus positions usually fail when players switch between one-step and two-step building without lane identity. A column should have a clear role tied to nearby ranks and current foundation demand.
Strategic priorities in order
- Classify each lane as one-step or two-step support based on visible rank clusters.
- Protect reserve cells for chain completion, not temporary delay.
- Feed seeded foundations with intentional rank routing.
- Avoid cross-lane rhythm conflicts that require the same missing ranks.
- Prefer moves that preserve optionality in both step sizes.
Common mistakes
- Randomly alternating step sizes and losing lane coherence.
- Spending reserve cells before a meaningful chain is ready.
- Ignoring seeded-foundation rank pacing in tableau choices.
