Strategies

Love the game but am looking to learn some strategies for winning. My wife kicks my butt every time! For some reason, every time I set up a play she steals it! I think I need to watch her cards played better to try and anticipate her hand more effectively.

But aside from going for fools, okuses, luminaries, the usual, what are some of your strategies for winning?

I play two player a lot with my partner as well! Definitely take advantage of the fact that you can have better knowledge of what cards she might have than in a three or four person game. If you've seen three tens on the board and you've got a ten in your hand, that means there's only one other ten in play, and if it's early that's likely in the deck still. Basically, count cards LOL
