&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Niagara basic strategy tips&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.  Don’t fall over the falls!&lt;br /&gt;
     It is hard to recover from this as you lose a boat and can&lt;br /&gt;
     only get it back by paying a gem.&lt;br /&gt;
     If you do lose a boat be careful about when you pay to get it back.&lt;br /&gt;
     Remember that you can only bring one boat back in at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
     You don’t want to give the last vital gem to an opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.  Play your small numbers early&lt;br /&gt;
     This will keep some large numbers in reserve so you can either&lt;br /&gt;
     get a gem out or at least avoid plummetting over the falls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.  Plan when to play your cloud&lt;br /&gt;
     Don’t be forced to play it when you really need to move&lt;br /&gt;
     upstream to avoid going over the falls.&lt;br /&gt;
     It is embarrassing and will cost you a boat.&lt;br /&gt;
     Reduce river speed for a faster game&lt;br /&gt;
     - a good strategy when you are in front.&lt;br /&gt;
     Increase river speed for a slower game&lt;br /&gt;
     - a good strategy when you are behind.&lt;br /&gt;
     This will give you and other players more opportunities&lt;br /&gt;
     to steal gems from the leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.  Steal gems whenever possible&lt;br /&gt;
     Unless that sets up your opponent to &lt;br /&gt;
     get the gem they need to win.&lt;br /&gt;
     The less gems your opponents have,&lt;br /&gt;
     the more work they need to do to win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.  Corollory to stealing when possible is to &lt;br /&gt;
     avoid being stolen from whenever possible.&lt;br /&gt;
     If your opponents have used all numbers required to land &lt;br /&gt;
     on a particular space this turn, &lt;br /&gt;
     then treat that space as a safe place for this turn only.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6.  Remember ALL your opponents’ numbers played&lt;br /&gt;
     This is your key to developing a winning strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
     Without this information, you are just guessing and hoping.&lt;br /&gt;
     Be informed.  Don’t play randomly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7.  Defend against sudden victories by your opponents&lt;br /&gt;
     You need to keep in mind all possible victory conditions&lt;br /&gt;
      and make sure no opponent&lt;br /&gt;
     is getting close to one of them.&lt;br /&gt;
     Reduce the number of purple or white gems available&lt;br /&gt;
     if an opponent is going for one of these.&lt;br /&gt;
     They only need four of the same gem, &lt;br /&gt;
     so don’t wait until they have their third or&lt;br /&gt;
     fourth gem loaded on a boat.&lt;br /&gt;
     Remove the possibility of someone else getting four gems&lt;br /&gt;
     by getting that gem too.&lt;br /&gt;
     All opponents should work together to stop the leaders winning.&lt;br /&gt;
     If an opponent is carrying a gem they don’t need for their victory,&lt;br /&gt;
     don’t steal it from them (unless you need it yourself!).&lt;br /&gt;
     It only makes their job easier.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
