I do not have much experience of the extra wheel move, since I choose to omit this option altogether when new players are involved, (I feel that new players already have more than enough rules and options to think about). This makes me wonder how frequently accomplished players might deploy the extra wheel move during a game? It appears that to do it more than twice would be challenging, due to the associated temple summit climbing obligations.
Doesn't happen often in my experience but if you have the wheels well loaded and your opponents don't it can be quite rewarding as you increase the value of all the actions that you can take while they get no benefit. It can be especially effective coming up to a feeding turn if they are short of food and have no men on the wheels.
