Czarina strategy is really about timing around automatic refills.

Core Czarina tips

• Treat every temporary empty tableau space as a short-lived chance to reposition a card before the stock refills it.
• Avoid forcing automatic refills when the next stock card is likely to block a cleaner move already available on the cross.
• Build foundations steadily, but keep back cards that still connect multiple tableau piles.
• Use wraparound foundation logic to plan two ranks ahead instead of playing only the most obvious upward move.
• When two moves both advance a foundation, prefer the one that leaves more tableau ranks exposed around the center.

Best early priority

Early on, focus less on raw foundation speed and more on opening a flexible center shape where several neighbouring ranks can circulate before the stock locks them back down.

Common mistake

The biggest mistake is creating an empty space without a purpose, then letting the forced refill replace a useful opening with a dead card from the stock.
