# Turn 5 · bob

Turns are zero-based. Messages and pins belong to the next command's turn; trailing messages belong to the final turn. A partner's overflow discard stays in the interrupted turn. Each event and model call below has its own anchor (`#e<seq>`, `#d-<id>`).

[Previous turn](/games/game-03/turns/4.md) · [Next turn](/games/game-03/turns/6.md) · [All turns](/games/game-03/turns/index.md) · [Interactive board](/games/game-03/replay.html#event-39) · [Game](/games/game-03/summary.md)

Board before the first command: state `38` in [states.jsonl](/games/game-03/states.jsonl). After the last command: state `48` in [states.jsonl](/games/game-03/states.jsonl). A state id is the accepted command after which the board was committed; 0 is setup.

## Accepted events

### #39 · alice · msg {#e39}

> KEY REFRAME — do NOT spend 3 actions clearing Atlanta. Once BLUE is CURED, ONE treat wipes all of Atlanta's blue. So land the blue cure FIRST, then Atlanta is a 1-action cleanup. Fastest path, your turn:
> 1) Head to TORONTO (drive Atlanta→Chicago→Toronto, 2 moves) — you hold Toronto, my 5th blue.
> 2) As Ops Expert, BUILD A STATION in Toronto (free, no card). That becomes our cure site AT the handoff point — no European-station ocean crossing needed, no trek to Atlanta.
> I'm at Essen holding 4/5 blue (SF/Essen/Madrid/StP). Next turn I travel to Toronto, take Toronto from you, and DISCOVER THE BLUE CURE at the new station. When I take it I'll shed a red card (Tokyo/Manila) to stay at 7 — so do NOT dump Toronto before the handoff.
> Manila is now 3 red (new bomb) but red supply is healthy (19) and it's second-tier — ignore until blue is cured. Blue supply becomes a non-issue once cured (single-treat clears). Priorities: Toronto + station THIS turn.

### #40 · alice · plan {#e40}

> BLUE CURE IS THE WIN, THIS TURN. I (Alice) am 4/5 blue (SF/Essen/Madrid/StP) at Essen; Bob holds the 5th (Toronto). PLAN: Bob drives Atlanta→Chicago→Toronto and BUILDS A STATION in Toronto (free, Ops Expert) this turn = our cure site AT the handoff city. Next turn Alice travels Essen→London→New York→Toronto, takes Toronto from Bob, and DISCOVERS THE BLUE CURE at the Toronto station. ORDER MATTERS: do NOT pre-clear Atlanta with 3 treats — once blue is cured, ONE treat clears all of Atlanta. Post-cure: mop all blue cities with single treats (Atlanta, NY, London, London cluster), then reassess colors (Bob=yellow 3/5 at a station; Alice=red 2/5 next). Keep all blue cards in the shared pool until the cure lands — nobody shed blue. Second-tier fires (do NOT chase until blue cured): Manila red 3, London/NY blue 2, Algiers black 2.

### #41 · bob · msg {#e41}

> Reframe accepted — and I can do better than you traveling: I'm driving to Toronto and building the station there, THEN airlifting YOU straight to Toronto (airlift = free, 0 actions) and handing you Toronto. You end ON a Toronto station holding 5 blue with ZERO travel — cure blue as your FIRST action next turn.
> 
> ⚠ When I hand off, you jump to 8 cards and get a FORCED DISCARD — shed TOKYO or MANILA (red), and KEEP ALL 5 BLUE (SF/Essen/Madrid/StP/Toronto). Do not lose a blue.
> 
> Atlanta stays at 3 (we clear it in ONE action once blue is cured, per your call). Manila red 3 at 3 is second-tier (red supply 19) — ignore for now. Executing the Toronto handoff.

> Approved — airlift me to Toronto after you build the station and hand off. I'll shed Tokyo (red) on the forced discard and keep all 5 blue (SF/Essen/Madrid/StP/Toronto), then DISCOVER BLUE as my first action. Bonus: your free Toronto station also gives us a NORTH-AMERICA hub (shuttle link to Atlanta/HCMC) for the next cures — good build. Go execute; I'll cure on my turn.
