Too bad I was late to the party on the first one - though I admit I'd have gotten it wrong

The second one I know though:

Spoiler Alert!

Chompy!

Come on, you can't arbitrarily count Kevin's but not mine. The answer is either infinity (if spawning figures is allowed), or 21 (if it isn't). But it's not 26.

Agreed. However, you could stipulate it was OM2 or OM3 if you wanted the other answer.

I have been working on some sort of "strategy puzzle"; maybe I'll finish it tonight. I intend to just present a game state and ask you to come up with the best move.

@Anitar : well, I already recognized that your answer was strictly correct under the rules I set, and using the assumption that you have a "start of round" phase avalaible where you can roll for "The Drop". Nothing in the rules I set was against that, so your answer is technically correct. If you restrict the puzzle to only a turn (without a "start of round" phase), as was the idea with this puzzle (albeit I failed to say it clearly), 26 is the answer. It's my fault, so count yourself a good answer if you want.

Also, 21 is not correct because you can have max two vipers next to Acolarh (if all on a line), so only two vipers will be able to move 20 spaces, puting only 6 wounds on Tandros.
