@chrism Mrm. I might go from 13 to 18, and then 24 to 4. That way the amount of lone blues will stay the same and the danger is a bit minimized? What's also possible is 6 to 11 and 24 to 4. 18 to 22 is also doable, mrm. Uhh lessee...

18 to 22, 6 to 11.

@trinsec Ah!

Blue's home board is on the right (not left) in this picture, and has to go around in an anticlockwise direction.

@chrism Oh... that's always hard to see when the game's already underway... Is there an easy way to spot which way it goes?

In that case I'd do 18->13. Then 8->4.

18 would be safe, one less casualty potential for you. And 8 could be the start of a new dam.

@trinsec Here the points are numbered 1 to 24, the home board is denoted by points 1 - 6.

I will always post games here with home on the right, it seems to be the most popular orientation.

It's actually good practice to swap around from time to time though. It confuses the hell out of me too. :ablobcatcry:

@chrism Okay, thanks. Start of numbering is one of the homeboards, got it. I guess I need to pay attention to that next time. For me it is uh... 'decorative' lol. Not good, I know. But I usually start a game knowing which is where, and usually have no numbers in those fancy boards I use (on Steam and on mobile).

Yeah, be sneaky, swap around regularly. 😂

@chrism Woot! Something I said actually made sense! :D
