Title: Game 1, move 2 : Herd 3-1
Post by: diane on June 25, 2013, 10:38:10 AM
Roderick rolled 6-3 and chose to hit and run...Herd has 3-1 to play

This may be obvious, but giving the herd their choice will also allow Roderick time to exercise his brain and be quicker in the long run...  ;)

My 6-3 should have been obvious.  I needed to hit.  And rather than hanging around for the triple shot, I continued on.

Assuming the herd plays correctly, it's about the earliest I'd start considering a cube.  Obviously it's still quite a bit premature, even after a play other than the correct one.  No homeboard points for me is weak.

I'll go on and make my next play, assuming the herd plays correctly.
