r_monk rolled 4-2, so 6-5 is the herds next move.

We're way ahead, so the focus should be on playing anti-jokers.  At first glance 17/11 8/2 seems to prevent 66 from forcing us to leave a blot, but it doesn't.  I'm going to go with 17/6 since it leaves a spare on the 6 point and seems to be the fastest way home and gives us 7 shakes to fill in the prime.

But I doubt it makes much practical difference.
