Those two blots give us the leeway to play for a worthwhile point rather than dumping behind the anchor, so forget 11/3 and anything with 8/2. I'm hovering between going for the bar (less blotty) and the five (more valuable, more ways to cover)... given how reluctant I'd be if I were Patti to hit from the anchor next roll, I think 13/5 wins.

Hey, I have an idea.  Let's have a contest to see who can roll the worst!

I wouldn't be so quick to make such a claim, remember when you left me in charge in the match against gaspar (http://www.fibsboard.com/fibsboard-forum-match-9/game-2-move-20-gaspar-to-play-4-3/)?  


We went from this:

to this in only four rolls

That said, only a fool would challenge Diane to a bad-roll contest.  (c:
