6. Dicas para Vencer

• Plan your Room Expansion early: building rooms before you run out of space keeps your house growing and allows you to gain more people.
• Use Fencing strategically to create pastures that can hold multiple animals, then breed them during Harvest to boost your animal count.
• Keep an eye on Major Improvements that convert crops or animals into food; they can help you meet feeding requirements and avoid losing points for starving people.
