Bid Management in Multiplayer Rounds

A risky 5-move claim that fails loses more expected value than a stable 6-move route that clears consistently.

Early in session, bid slightly conservative until map rhythm and opponent speed are known.

Before submitting, mentally verify all stop points in order. If one turn depends on a fragile helper position, increase bid by one.

When timer is low, choose deterministic lines over fancy optimizations. Completion rate beats theoretical minimum in real rooms.
