- Picking the kingdom too fast
- Ignoring the sky color
- Placing pins in the map center 'to be safe'
- Forgetting that maps are vertical
- Not using Daily Play to practice
- Rushing when there is no timer
- Ignoring NPCs in the background
- Confusing Cap and Dark Side
- Confusing Seaside and Lake
- Never reviewing the reveal line after each round
