We Played a 72 Hour Game of Tag Across Europe

Lol, I love how Dunkirk is out, but Lille is in. If Ben and Adam had just stayed in Lille, they would've caught him! And all because of a "curse."

Unless he takes a ferry to Dover. Which he could conceivably do, then take the Eurostar to Paris. I think this is less likely though, because if Ben and Adam see him on that ferry, they will know immediately what his plan is, and could just go to Paris to intercept. It's a logistics game at that point. The ferry is 90 minutes, and the fastest train to Paris another 120, so that's 3.5 hours, and he'll definitely have to do multiple challenges in Dover (the ferry will cost him 900 coins, but the high-speed train will be 3,000 coins, so even though he'd get 750 coins in Dover for completing the curse card, he'd have to add just over 1,300 coins in Dover to pay for a ticket to Paris).

You know...it would almost make more sense to take the ferry to Dover, then take a train to London. He could do a whole bunch of challenges in London and then, after accumulating a lot of coins, he could FLY somewhere, ideally somewhere that has a good rail pathway to Zermatt. The upshot is that there would be no point for Ben and Adam to go to London to catch him. It'd be pointless, because a) once they realize Sam is going to London, it would likely take them a few hours to get there after him, and b) once they got to London, Sam could pick any one of London's 3 major airports to disembark from...or he could even take the Eurostar BACK to France and psych them out. Better to stay still in France and wait for him to return to the continent.
