Start here if you are new
Allocate your team across four races
You have reliable movers and characters good at chaining effects;Reserve reliable movement for Mild races first, then compare stopping-space benefits in Wild races;The final two races offer higher rewards, but strong characters may still be constrained by the position;Saving strong characters may reduce your chances in the current race;If your team lacks usable abilities, first ensure it can compete in the current race
Compare fixed movement before the main move
You are using Long Legs near the finish;Compare whether 5 spaces reaches the finish with where a roll might land;Fixed movement removes uncertainty from this main move;You give up the die's maximum of 6 spaces;Consider rolling when you need 6 spaces for a crucial finish
Read the trigger timing first
You are preparing a swap or passing ability;Distinguish main moves, ordinary movement, and teleporting; wait for the current response to resolve;Incorrect timing is more likely to distort your assessment than moving one space less;Checking slows play;When no ability choice is pending, use the currently available action button to proceed

A decision example
This teaching race uses Long Legs, position 25; the other runners have not yet crossed the finish line; the goal is to handle one legal main movement. Before the main movement, choose fixed advance 5 and do not roll first; position 25→30, becoming this race's first place. The first race's champion gets 3 points, and this race still waits for second place to be produced; the character has been used this race and cannot be sent again afterward.
Can you roll first, see a 1, then switch to a fixed 5?
Choose a main-move replacement first. You cannot keep a roll and then choose the better option.
How rules shape tradeoffs
The final two races offer higher rewards, but strong characters may still be constrained by the position
Site hypothetical analysis: removing this constraint would remove the original waiting or resource cost for the same opportunity. This is not an official variant.
