Life is a board game. I am going to use some of my personal favorites as an example. Let’s use Stratego and Risk as examples. In Stratego you have to set up early and wisely. You can not have gaps in your army and you have to have a basic idea of your offensive strategy. In Life it is good to know what your going to do early and have a stellar start. At some point in life you have to know what your doing to move forward. In Risk you have to fortify occupied areas and have a good offensive and defensive strategy. It is useful to be a good strategist and tactician. You also can not remain neutral for too long or else you are prone for an attack on your countries. I learned this the hard way. In life it is great to fortify your knowledge in several subjects so you can be useful in many fields.
