Build a better board in sobosuba
Keep matching numbers reachable. A shot can score immediately and still leave you a difficult board if it buries the next useful match.
Read the situation before choosing a shot
| Board state | Priority | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| A matching blob is exposed | Approach at an angle that keeps contact | Unnecessary force |
| Small blobs block an opening | Clear a reachable match near the front | Adding another layer above them |
| A big blob fills the middle | Choose which side to keep open | Blocking both side paths |
| The pile is still moving | Wait to see its settled shape | Launching at a position that is changing |
Check three things before releasing
- Where is the matching number?
- What sits between it and this shot?
- What space will remain after the merge?
Use a soft shot to preserve a useful arrangement
If the match is exposed and the nearby pieces are already well placed, try a gentle approach. You want to bring the pieces together without sending the target elsewhere. Remember that a blob can lean or slide after landing.
Use power for a particular change
A stronger launch can shift a blocker or reach an opening farther inside the pile. Decide which piece you want to move and in which direction. That gives you something concrete to compare with the result.
Should I always launch hard?
No. Force can create a path, but it can also separate blobs you had already brought close together. Choose it when you have a reason to move the pile.
