ADVISORY — bob is on the move; you cannot act.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  STATUS: RED CURED (bob, Atlanta station). First epidemic hit: NY outbreak, outbreaks 1/8, infect discard reshuffled ON TOP — every old fire (Johannesburg 3 yellow, New York 3 blue, Seoul 2 red, Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai 2 black, Lagos 2 yellow, Toronto 2 blue) is live again. IMMEDIATE: alice → Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg (burn HK), treat yellow (3→2), finish clearing next turn; bob → NY cluster (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → 1 left), Toronto 2 blue next in line. Seoul red 2: low priority, one treat clears all (cured color); Taipei 1 red — eradicate on spare actions only. COLLECTORS: alice = YELLOW (Lagos/Santiago/Lima, + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet); bob = BLUE + BLACK (holds Essen blue, Istanbul black — keep every blue/black draw). alice's New York blue goes to bob at a cheap meet — do NOT burn it (blue margin 5, supply 15). All cures at Atlanta station.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 39 cards → 19 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~6 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 4 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 8 in deck — margin 5 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: YOU collect (1/5) — keep EVERY blue card; nearest station Atlanta (5 action(s) (direct flight to Shanghai (spends Shanghai(red)), then 4 move(s) to Atlanta)) — or 2 action(s): go to Khartoum (1 move(s)), then charter to Atlanta (spends Khartoum(yellow)) (your 4/5 yellow set — burning drops it to 3/5; 7 yellow in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
  yellow: YOU collect (4/5) — keep EVERY yellow card; nearest station Atlanta (5 action(s) (direct flight to Shanghai (spends Shanghai(red)), then 4 move(s) to Atlanta)) — or 3 action(s): direct flight to New York (spends New York(blue)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta (your 1/5 blue set — burning drops it to 0/5; 8 blue in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
  black: bob collects (1/4) — give bob your black cards when you share
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  bob hands you Mexico City(yellow): meet IN Mexico City (the card's own city) — you 5 move(s), bob 2 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +2 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
  hand Riyadh(black) to bob: meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 3 move(s), bob 6 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure
  bob hands you Essen(blue): meet IN Essen (the card's own city) — you 5 move(s), bob 4 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-blue card to shed before committing
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 10 action(s) total = 9 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Kinshasa→Lagos→Sao Paulo→Bogota→Mexico City→Los Angeles→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul — nearer teammate: bob, 4 move(s) vs your 9
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Riyadh, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 6 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~6 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 6→3, yellow 6→3) — costs Riyadh(black): black margin 8 — burnable; 10 black still in deck
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Riyadh 6→0, Karachi 7→1 (1 cube), Baghdad 6→1, Tehran 7→2 (1 cube); board-wide: 20 cities closer, 61 trip-actions shaved

POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #43): No veto — Mexico City park accepted, that's a guaranteed yellow cure and worth the detour. Executing my half now: Washington→New York, treat blue ×2 (3→1); next turn I trace NY→Washington→Atlanta→Chicago→Mexico City and park for your handoff. Seoul at 3 red: agreed, leave it — cured color, mild chain (neighbors all 0), costs only the outbreak counter if it fires; reassess if epidemic #2 reshuffles before anyone sweeps it. One flag on YOUR hand: you're at 7 now, so your next draw forces 2 sheds. Shanghai(red) is dead weight, fine — but try to keep New York(blue) and Riyadh(black), they're my blue/black seeds (NY margin is only 5). If you must shed one, Riyadh hurts less than NY. Jhb's last 2 yellow: fold a treat into your walk when you can — at 2 a single draw can't fire it, but don't let it tick back to 3.
Reply via send_message only if it helps; otherwise continue or stop.

Bob accepted the park and flagged my hand-cap math — I'm at 7, so my next draw forces TWO sheds, and the turn-B card pickup forces a third. Worth replying now with the shed order and a go/no-go checkpoint that could save him 4 moves.

POOL MESSAGE from alice (event #42): NY defuse confirmed as your move this turn (NY is frozen in the discard, but epidemic #2 re-arms it on top — clear it while you're 2 moves away). Bigger news: I drew Khartoum(yellow), so I'm at 4/5 yellow (Lagos/Santiago/Lima/Khartoum) — your Mexico City completes my set. PROPOSAL for your next turn: after NY, route NY→Washington→Atlanta→Chicago→Mexico City (4 moves) and park there. Meanwhile I walk J'burg→Kinshasa→Lagos→Sao Paulo→Bogota, then Bogota→Mexico City, take the card off you (I'll shed my spare Shanghai red at the hand cap), and push on to Chicago→Atlanta — landing AT the station with 5 yellows, curing yellow the following turn. You follow me to Atlanta (2 moves) and you're station-based for blue. Guaranteed yellow cure in ~3 rounds, zero draw-luck. Side notes: Seoul ticked to 3 red (cured color, frozen till epidemic #2, mild chain — leave it; red eradication would kill 12 infect cards but costs ~8 travel actions, not worth your collection tempo). Sao Paulo also went to 2 yellow — it's on my walk, I'll watch it. Veto or adjust if you see better.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 1 of your turn(s) ago):
  STATUS: RED CURED (bob, Atlanta station). First epidemic hit: NY outbreak, outbreaks 1/8, infect discard reshuffled ON TOP — every old fire (Johannesburg 3 yellow, New York 3 blue, Seoul 2 red, Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai 2 black, Lagos 2 yellow, Toronto 2 blue) is live again. IMMEDIATE: alice → Shanghai→HK, charter HK→Johannesburg (burn HK), treat yellow (3→2), finish clearing next turn; bob → NY cluster (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → 1 left), Toronto 2 blue next in line. Seoul red 2: low priority, one treat clears all (cured color); Taipei 1 red — eradicate on spare actions only. COLLECTORS: alice = YELLOW (Lagos/Santiago/Lima, + bob's Mexico City at a cheap meet); bob = BLUE + BLACK (holds Essen blue, Istanbul black — keep every blue/black draw). alice's New York blue goes to bob at a cheap meet — do NOT burn it (blue margin 5, supply 15). All cures at Atlanta station.
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 4 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 7 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  YELLOW CURE PIPELINE (agreed): bob — NY cluster now (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → NY 1 left; Toronto 2 blue still open), then next turn NY→Washington→Atlanta→Chicago→Mexico City, PARKS in Mexico City holding the Mexico City yellow card. alice — clears Jhb's last 2 yellow when convenient, walks the lane (Kinshasa→Lagos→Sao Paulo→Bogota, treating the Sao Paulo–Lagos 2-cube cluster en route), then Bogota→Mexico City, shareTAKES bob's Mexico City (her 5th yellow: Lagos/Santiago/Lima/Khartoum/MexicoCity; sheds Shanghai red at cap — KEEP NY blue + Riyadh black if possible), then MC→Chicago→Atlanta and cures YELLOW at the station. bob follows to Atlanta for blue/black station work. DEFERRED FIRES: Seoul 3 red (cured color, leave — reassess after epidemic #2); black 2-cube cities (Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai, supply 15) — bob's push after yellow lands; alice's Riyadh(black) → bob at a Riyadh meet or fuel, her call. COLLECTORS: alice = yellow (until cured, then she feeds bob blue/black); bob = blue + black (keep every blue/black draw; Essen + Istanbul held).
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.
⚠ PLAN COVERAGE: this plan says nothing about New York (3 blue) — 3-cube city that matured after (or
were left out of) the pin. Fold one into your route, say who takes it,
or re-pin.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 3 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 7 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

eradication: red: 4 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 8 in deck — margin 5 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: alice collects (1/5) — give alice your blue cards when you share
  yellow: alice collects (4/5) — give alice your yellow cards when you share
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (1 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  hand Mexico City(yellow) to alice: meet IN Mexico City (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +2 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
  alice hands you Riyadh(black): meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 5 move(s), alice 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure

⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Essen, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 4 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~2 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 6→5, yellow 6→5) — costs Essen(blue): blue margin 5 — burnable; 8 blue still in deck
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Essen 4→0, Milan 5→1, St. Petersburg 5→1, Moscow 6→2 (2 cubes); board-wide: 18 cities closer, 46 trip-actions shaved

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 3 rival turn-plan(s); NONE dominates another.
NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline

POOL MESSAGE from alice (event #48): Agreed on shed order: Shanghai first, then Riyadh before New York (blue margin 5 is the tight one). One improvement to your half: CHECKPOINT after my next turn's draw — if I draw a 5th yellow, CANCEL the Mexico City park entirely (you save the 4-move detour) and I route Bogota→Miami→Atlanta instead; the yellow cure lands the same round either way. I'll message you my draws the moment I see them, before you route. If no yellow in the draw, park is on as planned. J'burg's last 2 yellow can't fit into my 4-move walk next turn, but it's frozen in the discard until epidemic #2 — same frozen window as NY, so I'll sweep it when I'm back in Africa post-cure (one treat clears it once yellow's cured).

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  YELLOW CURE PIPELINE (agreed): bob — NY cluster now (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → NY 1 left; Toronto 2 blue still open), then next turn NY→Washington→Atlanta→Chicago→Mexico City, PARKS in Mexico City holding the Mexico City yellow card. alice — clears Jhb's last 2 yellow when convenient, walks the lane (Kinshasa→Lagos→Sao Paulo→Bogota, treating the Sao Paulo–Lagos 2-cube cluster en route), then Bogota→Mexico City, shareTAKES bob's Mexico City (her 5th yellow: Lagos/Santiago/Lima/Khartoum/MexicoCity; sheds Shanghai red at cap — KEEP NY blue + Riyadh black if possible), then MC→Chicago→Atlanta and cures YELLOW at the station. bob follows to Atlanta for blue/black station work. DEFERRED FIRES: Seoul 3 red (cured color, leave — reassess after epidemic #2); black 2-cube cities (Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai, supply 15) — bob's push after yellow lands; alice's Riyadh(black) → bob at a Riyadh meet or fuel, her call. COLLECTORS: alice = yellow (until cured, then she feeds bob blue/black); bob = blue + black (keep every blue/black draw; Essen + Istanbul held).
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 1 action(s) left this turn against 1 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 39 cards → 19 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~6 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 4 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 8 in deck — margin 5 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: alice collects (1/5) — give alice your blue cards when you share
  yellow: alice collects (4/5) — give alice your yellow cards when you share
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (2 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Riyadh(black): meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 4 move(s), alice 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure
  hand Essen(blue) to alice: meet IN Essen (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-blue card to shed before committing
  hand Mexico City(yellow) to alice: meet IN Mexico City (the card's own city) — you 3 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +2 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Toronto→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Essen, 2 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 4 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~2 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 6→5, yellow 6→5) — costs Essen(blue): blue margin 5 — burnable; 8 blue still in deck
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Essen 4→0, Milan 5→1, St. Petersburg 5→1, Moscow 6→2 (2 cubes); board-wide: 18 cities closer, 46 trip-actions shaved

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 2 rival turn-plan(s); NONE dominates another.
NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline
actions for fewer expected outbreaks; UP reverses it. No line is best: pick the
end facing whichever clock is closer to killing you.
  clocks — outbreaks 1/8; deck ~19 turn(s), 3 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
  - advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico City handoff (alice collects; assumes they meet you) — drive Toronto
     tempo: 1 action(s) closer to the yellow cure (18 → 17 action(s) to land it) — alice collects | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 1 armed discard bomb(s) (Seoul): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 8%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~1 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~3 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires
  - break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao Paulo — drive Madrid
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 18 action(s) to land it — alice collects | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 1 armed discard bomb(s) (Seoul): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 8%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~1 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~3 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires; en route to clear yellow at Sao Paulo — worth ~2 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  exchange "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico…" → "break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao…": gives up 1 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0
  dominated: "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York" — tempo 0 vs 1, risk 0.12 vs 0.12 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico…"
  SPLIT DECISION — this antichain holds a cure line AND a containment line

  YELLOW CURE PIPELINE (agreed): bob — NY cluster now (Washington→NY, treat blue ×2 → NY 1 left; Toronto 2 blue still open), then next turn NY→Washington→Atlanta→Chicago→Mexico City, PARKS in Mexico City holding the Mexico City yellow card. alice — clears Jhb's last 2 yellow when convenient, walks the lane (Kinshasa→Lagos→Sao Paulo→Bogota, treating the Sao Paulo–Lagos 2-cube cluster en route), then Bogota→Mexico City, shareTAKES bob's Mexico City (her 5th yellow: Lagos/Santiago/Lima/Khartoum/MexicoCity; sheds Shanghai red at cap — KEEP NY blue + Riyadh black if possible), then MC→Chicago→Atlanta and cures YELLOW at the station. bob follows to Atlanta for blue/black station work. DEFERRED FIRES: Seoul 3 red (cured color, leave — reassess after epidemic #2); black 2-cube cities (Moscow/Algiers/Mumbai, supply 15) — bob's push after yellow lands; alice's Riyadh(black) → bob at a Riyadh meet or fuel, her call. COLLECTORS: alice = yellow (until cured, then she feeds bob blue/black); bob = blue + black (keep every blue/black draw; Essen + Istanbul held).
If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via
pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it.
CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION
FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently
obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict
(the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's
reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 1 action(s) left this turn against 1 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 39 cards → 19 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~6 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 4 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 8 in deck — margin 5 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: alice collects (1/5) — give alice your blue cards when you share
  yellow: alice collects (4/5) — give alice your yellow cards when you share
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (2 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Riyadh(black): meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 4 move(s), alice 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure
  hand Essen(blue) to alice: meet IN Essen (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +4 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-blue card to shed before committing
  hand Mexico City(yellow) to alice: meet IN Mexico City (the card's own city) — you 3 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Atlanta +2 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Toronto→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Essen, 2 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 4 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~2 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 6→5, yellow 6→5) — costs Essen(blue): blue margin 5 — burnable; 8 blue still in deck
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Essen 4→0, Milan 5→1, St. Petersburg 5→1, Moscow 6→2 (2 cubes); board-wide: 18 cities closer, 46 trip-actions shaved

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 2 rival turn-plan(s); NONE dominates another.
NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline
actions for fewer expected outbreaks; UP reverses it. No line is best: pick the
end facing whichever clock is closer to killing you.
  clocks — outbreaks 1/8; deck ~19 turn(s), 3 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
  - advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico City handoff (alice collects; assumes they meet you) — drive Toronto
     tempo: 1 action(s) closer to the yellow cure (18 → 17 action(s) to land it) — alice collects | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 1 armed discard bomb(s) (Seoul): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 8%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~1 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~3 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires
  - break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao Paulo — drive Madrid
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 18 action(s) to land it — alice collects | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 1 armed discard bomb(s) (Seoul): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 8%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~1 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~3 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires; en route to clear yellow at Sao Paulo — worth ~2 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  exchange "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico…" → "break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao…": gives up 1 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0
  dominated: "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York" — tempo 0 vs 1, risk 0.12 vs 0.12 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Mexico…"
  SPLIT DECISION — this antichain holds a cure line AND a containment line
  and neither dominates: that is a TEAM call, not a solo one. Before you
  commit, CALL send_message with your pick and a one-line reason so your
  partner can veto or extend it — a silent choice here is how chains get
  missed.
