I’m not sure why this is an uh oh. “or” was pretty intentional, I think.

The idea is that Leapsnail can be a risky Play if the choice of Snails includes ones that are behind you. This is by design.

for I’ve changed my mind about the vote – I still think this makes Leapsnailing almost useless, but the current version is probably too powerful. Ideally we’d find something in-between in power level to use.
