Tips & Tactics:
- The opening move is critical as it may weaken the players lines and allow the AI to take a large chunk of their pieces. There are four opening moves available: a vertical, a horizontal, and two diagonal. The diagonal moves will lead to longer games, with it taking longer to clear the board. On the other hand, the vertical move will weaken the players lines and lead to shorter games.
- Sometimes it's better for the player to end a move in a safe place, rather than weakening their lines to get more enemy pieces and leaving themselves open to counter moves.
- When the board begins to clear out, try to keep all pieces in the middle of the board where there is more tactical moves available.
- Sometimes it can be useful to sacrifice a piece by forcing the AI to move toward the outside with a "move away" capture move.

Tips & Tactics:
- Place pieces at intersections where they get the most movement.
- Try to create two mills so that the AI can only block one, allowing the other to be created and instantly removing an enemy piece.
Bowls

| Intermediate | Outside Davenport Tavern |
| New York (Washington in the SW) | |
Tips & Tactics:
- Use the different angle tosses to push away the other players bowls (straight shot) or loft them to land them close to the Jack.
- When the player selects a placement to throw a blue area will radiate from the selection. This represents the area where the bowl may land; the smaller the better.
- Try to land a bowl between Connor and the Jack so that if the AI hits the bowl the Jack will also move away from his bowl.
- Don't be afraid to hit the opponents bowl away from the Jack.
Checkers

| Intermediate | Davenport Harbor |
Tips & Tactics:
- Use the required mandatory capture moves to manipulate an opponent into positions that are to their disadvantage.
- The pieces on the borders have limited movement. Try to keep all pieces in the center and the AI's pieces against the walls.
- Don't be afraid to sacrifice a piece or two to obtain a king. The tactical movement ability is much more important than being down a piece or two.
