Hi everyone, I am fairly new to the game: 1 month in after my daughter, who is 7, introduced me to the game. We play together on the iPad. In general I am a lurker in forums like this but people have been so helpful I decided to do an intro (plus I really could use some tips on playing more efficiently).

My game name is Jabby - combo of James and Abby (hope you can tell whose name is whose). What started as a little game for me and my daughter to play together has become a little obsession. You see, I work a little in Operations and I always want to optimize things to get the most out of the game and spend the least amount of time. I would love for the experts here to give me some pointers to play more efficiently. Below is my daily routine:

1. Beginning of day, iPad set on regular time, give gifts and help all friends, but do not collect on trophies (thanks for the tip on this) 2. Start TT and going 1 day back interval, because dealing with hours is just a waste of time. Gift *only* passes to all friends with each roll back 3. After going back about 10 days or so, start collecting trophies and start the play 4. Play until energy depletes and forward 1 day. Give passes to all friends with each forward 5. Rinse and repeat 3 and 4. 10 days back is usually enough for me each day. I often don't get past moving days up more than 5 days. 6. Update gift list because you guys are just too helpful. :) 7. Do all the locations but leave Ancient Cards to Abby, because these young kids have amazing memories. 8. If I want to focus on leveling up I just do the Pool since it gives me the most experience 9. Pick up gifts often because 499 is the limit. Lol

Am I missing anything that could help myself and others?

I have 75 friends so far but not sure if I should add more. If anyone knows how to do those help friend activities faster, please let me know. BTW my friend code is 09C8UI.

I also see high level players do double exp and double coins. Why do you guys do this?

While the game is a little repetitive, I do appreciate it. I spent $10 for the micro transactions but not likely to spend more.

Cheers!
