grenv: Isn't it.

AbigailII: I think SKA's main point is that "This is mainly a 'lucky or unlucky' type of game."

and I take "I think one kind of strategy is to kill your player's king fast enough to win. There are so many ways to win and yet die" as simply a way to express the lack of clear strategy when there's a tornado touching down at random on the board. All in all it's offering the opinion that your question probably has no satisfactory answer.

For me the best strategy to "win" this game would be to spend the time on a different game instead! ;-)
