Zodiac Strategy
Zodiac is a two-phase planning game, not a one-phase race.
Early placements should be judged by how they support later suit extraction. If phase-one convenience creates phase-two tangles, the position usually collapses when foundation conversion begins.

Strategic priorities
- Evaluate early placements by future foundation extraction value.
- Preserve Equator flexibility as a core routing resource.
- Spread suit pressure before tangles harden.
- Choose lines that preserve clean follow-up branches.
- Treat phase one as explicit staging for phase two conversion.
Common mistakes
- Solving local traffic at the cost of later suit extraction.
- Underusing Equator cards until options are already constrained.
- Chasing immediate neatness over phase-two viability.
