I just wondered if it is possible for a person to master all the different
chess games and become a board gaming legend.

Or maybe that will be impossible, because it will take a life time to
master only one of them.

There are many tactics which can be utilized in most variants.  For
example: maintaining the exchange ratio, obtaining an advantage of value
in the exchange, controlling specific sections of the playing field, etc.

I believe that Chess Variant players should concentrate on enjoying the
games, rather than attempting to 'master' them all.  But after playing a
few dozen of them, hopefully a wide range of forms, the players may find
that they are capable of any.
