Black Hole rewards careful branch management.

Core Black Hole tips

• Think in branches, not single plays, because every rank choice changes which piles stay reachable.
• Protect bridging ranks that connect several visible pile tops instead of burning them for a tiny gain.
• When two plays are available, prefer the one that reveals more fresh top cards.
• Avoid tunnel vision on one pile if another line opens a larger network of future adjacency moves.
• Use undo to compare lines when the board offers several similar-looking branches.

Best early priority

Open the board broadly. Early turns are strongest when they expose multiple new pile tops and keep both higher and lower rank routes available.

Common mistake

Clearing an obvious pile too quickly can waste the exact rank you needed as a bridge for several other blocked piles.
