sam's move card
i think plenty of people have already mentioned this, but i do think that sam really hurt his chances by not planning ahead of time where he would go after he played his move card. i tried to look up some potential spots, and i think i found 2 decent ones he couldve just about reached in an hour
if he wanted to switch it up and hide somewhere more rural in the hopes badam would focus on urban areas, he could have potentially gotten as far as higashi-agano station, just beyond the city of hanno. then, he could maybe stall them some more by hiding in one of the several hill paths surrounding the station.
if he wanted to have a station that primarily served a destination rather than residential places, he couldve gone to fuchuekibaseimon-mae station next to the tokyo racecourse, which is served by a tiny branch off a main line. it's no airport, but id imagine there might still be good places to hide around the racecourse grounds. also, i would love to see ben and adam try to pronounce that station name. in a similar vein, he couldve gotten to urawamisono station and tried hiding on the grounds of saitama stadium, but the station is a bit far from the stadium, so idk if the hiding zone goes through the stadium and limits his options.
do yall have any opinions on where he couldve gone as a better alternative to naka-urawa?
