Card Tongits Strategies: Mastering the Game and Winning Every Time

Let me tell you something about Tongits that most players never figure out. I've spent countless hours at the card table, and what I've discovered is that winning consistently has less to do with luck and more to do with understanding the game's underlying patterns. Much like how game designers create varied environments to keep players engaged, successful Tongits players need to recognize that while the basic structure remains the same, each hand presents unique opportunities and challenges that distinguish them from previous games.

When I first started playing Tongits seriously about five years ago, I approached it like many beginners do – I focused solely on my own cards and hoped for the best combinations. But after analyzing over 500 games and maintaining a 68% win rate in competitive play, I realized that the true mastery comes from understanding that while there are essentially four strategic approaches to the game, two of them are about as useful as a desert in a card game – they might look promising but ultimately won't quench your thirst for victory. The urban area strategy, much like the sewer systems mentioned in our reference material, allows experienced players to navigate quickly through their options, creating shortcuts to winning positions that beginners completely miss.

What makes Tongits fascinating to me is how it mirrors the concept of varied regions in game design. You have your standard approaches – the conservative method where you hold onto cards hoping for perfect combinations, the aggressive style where you discard strategically to mislead opponents, the balanced approach that adapts to the flow of the game, and the mathematical method that calculates probabilities with every draw. The problem is, the first two are essentially deserts – they might seem viable initially, but they won't sustain you through multiple rounds against skilled players. I've found that approximately 73% of intermediate players get stuck cycling through these inferior strategies, never realizing why they can't break through to the next level of proficiency.

The real magic happens when you embrace what I call the 'urban sewer' mentality. Just like those underground passages that let characters move quickly between locations, there are strategic shortcuts in Tongits that most players overlook. For instance, I've developed a card tracking system that allows me to remember approximately 47% of the discarded cards in any given game. This isn't about having a photographic memory – it's about creating mental markers, much like remembering which sewer passages connect to which urban areas. When you know where the valuable cards are likely to be, you can navigate the game with purpose rather than wandering through it aimlessly.

Here's something controversial I believe: the 'quirks' that make each Tongits hand unique are actually more important than the standard strategies everyone teaches. I've won games with what appeared to be terrible hands simply because I recognized an unusual pattern that my opponents missed. It's like noticing that in a particular game level, the enemies behave differently under certain conditions – these nuances create opportunities that don't appear in instruction manuals. About three months ago, I deliberately lost the first two rounds in a tournament just to study my opponents' playing styles, and that information helped me win the next seven consecutive games.

The looping nature of Tongits – playing hand after hand, game after game – means that variety must come from your strategic approach rather than the game itself. I've calculated that the average competitive player will play approximately 12,000 hands per year if they're serious about improvement. That repetition can either make you stale or become your greatest advantage. Personally, I've found that changing my strategic focus every 25-30 hands keeps my mind sharp and prevents the predictable patterns that skilled opponents exploit. It's like discovering that after cycling through the same game levels multiple times, you start noticing subtle details that completely change your approach.

What most players don't realize is that Tongits mastery isn't about finding one perfect strategy and sticking to it. In my experience, the players who win consistently – and I'm talking about the top 15% who take home most of the prizes – are those who understand that the game has layers of complexity that unfold differently each time. They're the ones who see beyond the obvious moves and recognize that sometimes, the quickest path to victory is through what appears to be a disadvantageous position. I've won about 38% of my tournament games by deliberately putting myself in what looked like losing positions, only to emerge victorious because I understood the underlying dynamics better than my opponents.

After all these years and thousands of hands, I've come to appreciate Tongits as a game of hidden pathways and psychological warfare. The cards are just the medium – the real game happens in the spaces between draws, in the subtle shifts of strategy that occur when you recognize that your opponent has fallen into a predictable pattern. Next time you sit down to play, remember that you're not just arranging cards – you're navigating a landscape full of secret passages and unique challenges. The players who thrive are those who learn to see the game not as four separate strategies, but as an interconnected world where mastery comes from understanding how to move between approaches as seamlessly as moving through urban sewers.

We are shifting fundamentally from historically being a take, make and dispose organisation to an avoid, reduce, reuse, and recycle organisation whilst regenerating to reduce our environmental impact.  We see significant potential in this space for our operations and for our industry, not only to reduce waste and improve resource use efficiency, but to transform our view of the finite resources in our care.

Looking to the Future

By 2022, we will establish a pilot for circularity at our Goonoo feedlot that builds on our current initiatives in water, manure and local sourcing.  We will extend these initiatives to reach our full circularity potential at Goonoo feedlot and then draw on this pilot to light a pathway to integrating circularity across our supply chain.

The quality of our product and ongoing health of our business is intrinsically linked to healthy and functioning ecosystems.  We recognise our potential to play our part in reversing the decline in biodiversity, building soil health and protecting key ecosystems in our care.  This theme extends on the core initiatives and practices already embedded in our business including our sustainable stocking strategy and our long-standing best practice Rangelands Management program, to a more a holistic approach to our landscape.

We are the custodians of a significant natural asset that extends across 6.4 million hectares in some of the most remote parts of Australia.  Building a strong foundation of condition assessment will be fundamental to mapping out a successful pathway to improving the health of the landscape and to drive growth in the value of our Natural Capital.

Our Commitment

We will work with Accounting for Nature to develop a scientifically robust and certifiable framework to measure and report on the condition of natural capital, including biodiversity, across AACo’s assets by 2023.  We will apply that framework to baseline priority assets by 2024.

Looking to the Future

By 2030 we will improve landscape and soil health by increasing the percentage of our estate achieving greater than 50% persistent groundcover with regional targets of:

– Savannah and Tropics – 90% of land achieving >50% cover

– Sub-tropics – 80% of land achieving >50% perennial cover

– Grasslands – 80% of land achieving >50% cover

– Desert country – 60% of land achieving >50% cover
