#note This was definitely the most important play of the game. Jason has the B and O column to bingo and I can't block both. I played B8 BEACH thinking that a bingo for Jason always gives me a loss, so I blocked the B column thinking that was the more likely lane and giving up the game if Jason had an O8 bingo. However, this was a big mistake. As Marlon pointed out after the game, if I block O8 bingoes without emptying the bag and Jason bingoes on the B column, I can always outrun. A play that is good enough for this tactic is something like 14N HA. After that, Jason can hit the B column for about 70ish points and it's back to even. Now it's my turn and I can use my B, C, W, or even K if I draw it to score enough to win. After his bingo, he'll ony have 1 tile which won't be enough to win after my response to his bingo. Moral of the story is to check the score to see if you can always outrun instead of desparately blocking the bingo.

>Jbro: EINORST -- -87 328
#note Turns out that I did end up blocking the bingo. Jason had to hope VIVIDS was good to win the game. It's important to keep in mind that even though blocking the B column ending up working outfor me better than blocking the O column, it was still the wrong play.

#note This might not have been his play but at this point it doesn't matter.
