In Response To: Recube from backgame? (Karl Frogner)

It's easy to see at this score we have a monster pass so the only question is, too good? Assuming there is no chance whatsoever the opponent will take I strongly consider playing on. I can imagine lots of people taking this though.

One thing I'd take a quick look at is assuming we miss, pick some random nothing number like 41 or 61 or whatever for us and then see how our opponent's rolls play. This should clue us in on how strong our position is overall. I'm not going to list them all but there are a ton of numbers that still leaves our opponent with a destroyed non takeable position next turn even if we do miss. This is a big nod in favor of playing on now.

I'd be a lot more comfortable playing on if our bar was already made for example but I'd still take a shake here. I'm one who prefers to play on rather than cash in general.
