This year's game seems to be almost as clear-cut in terms of strategy as compared to last year:

"If you don't stop us, we outscore you like crazy and win a bazillion to nothing. If you do stop us, then we stop you, too, and then win on the endgame anyway."

The difference is in the scoring, of course, and I think this strategy is a bit harder to implement with how the game is set up.

I disagree.
