The pre-game phase of the game is where you attack the other side’s main throat. The goal in this phase is to mock up a rough version of how the other side will respond.
This is a technique that has been used for centuries, so it isn’t a new idea … but it sure does work! So let’s talk about using this technique to your advantage and make the most of it.
The idea behind this tactic is two fold:
• It focuses on limiting their options (by confirming the nature of what they are going to say and by pointing out their weaknesses).
• It also focuses on persuading them into action (by appealing to their ego and showing that they can beat you at this game).
The key to doing this right is not only playing the right cards in your hand, but also being able to do so effectively. And if you have time left over after having done all that, then there's more than enough time left over for some more wargaming!
