The three lanes have different properties that affect how you should place your cards down in them. You may play a card in one lane and only to have like the information for another lane revealed that maybe they should have gone in there. Or alternatively you can play into a lane without knowing what its property is and then when it is revealed it might help you out. There's so much strategy here right because you could put a card down in this lane that you know it's going to like rack up a bunch of power. Your opponent might also do the same thing right they may burn the next few turns just trying to conquer that lane. The pace of the game is beautiful, I've never played
