I'm thinking I want to move on the board but not too much so I can have options for the next turn.
If Kyungran moves one spot backwards, we will just throw a double blank to make sure she can't get another one.

Problem is if she does move one space backwards, it forces our hand for a while to not allow her to get the next one- which will give her the extra turns instead, probably. I don't want to let it get to that. Would be awesome if you could just get her here

Looks like we were lucky with my move. I guess we can go the easy safe one of each for Eunji.
And for your turn we can either risk it with double X or be safe with double blank.

Awesome. I'm just wanting to get my man off the board I think, then I can focus on the last token. So two blanks probably. But I'll think it over. Eunji's turn One of each

That's ok if you want to take the safe path and get the first piece to the end.
I would suggest to just take it close to the end, like 2-3 spaces and then focus on your second piece until the first one gets threatened.
This way, if you get a bad move like a back space you can use it on the first man which is already way ahead. Also, as long as you didn't yet pass with the first piece, they will expect us to keep going for double blank so if you surprise them and get 4 X, you can move your piece straight in the corner as well as change directions.
Then again, they might expect it. Maybe the best course would be to go for double blank now, and if they don't do something unexpected like one of each, then try double X next.

Would you be able to tag me in the future? I missed your turn until now.

I don't think there's much reason for me not to do double blanks? I think the smartest thing for them is to play it safe and do one of each. If I get an extra turn it's a disaster for them. So may as well do blanks so I move further. Double X would probably move me back.

And I see your point about using the new token next time. I think I probably will.

For Kyungran, what are the chances she'd try to do 2 spaces again? If she does one of each, would be great if I could do 2 Xs so they don't move. But I think she may have learnt her lesson and just do two blanks. I don't want her to move two spaces though, because I don't want to put her in a position where she can easily go backwards.

I say let's do one of each for safety now. And if she does seem like trying to move backwards to the start we will sabotage get with double blanks until I can capture her again by moving backwards over her.
If you feel like that's too risky, you can go for double blanks now and worry later if she gets an extra turn or something.

Nah I think you're right, do one of each for now. We'll both be the to try catch her if she only moves two. Bandage Man's question about the corner is interesting though, it means if you're on a corner you can choose to move backwards? Something for us to keep in mind if you're ever on a corner with Kyungran behind. Bandage Man can you confirm this for me, please? And also for Kyungran's turn, one of each please.

I don't think you could have moved backwards (towards the direction you came from) but you could have changed direction towards the middle of the board.

On an intersection space, you can choose any direction, except the direction you came from and except for going backwards around the outer edge.

They'll presumably throw 2 blacks so you can't get her. So depends if you want to move 2 forward, or one back.
