Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Mini-Games

Mini-Games are small gambling games that allow you to compete against an opponent for money, based on your wager. Though this may seem like a good way to get money, the games are long and the amount of money you can win is pitiful.

Fandrona

Tips & Tactics:

• The opening move is critical as it may weaken the player's 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.

Six/Nine/Twelve Men's Morris

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.

Checkers

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.
