Hit or Not

Hit or Not

The Good Home Birkenhead

In general, if hitting an opponents blot is an option you probalbly want to hit.

However, there are plenty of exceptions.

If you can hit a blot in the outfield or make a key inner board point (5 point) the inner point might take precedence.
If hitting leaves you with lots of blots and your opponent with lots of return shots, you best pass up the hit.
If your position is stacked and awkward a developing play might be better.
If you have a choice between a hit and filling in a key point in a prime, the prime is better.

Head down to The Good Home to learn how to be a hit in your BG Game.
