Still, this position caught my eye, though not because I have any interesting choices --
I'm dead in the water right now, with my shadow dice stuck -- but does Anders have an interesting choice to make? or is it automatic?

Well, he could take your [7/8] with his [14/20], but then he loses it on 4, 11, or 12. If he takes your [4/s4] with his [2/4 2/f4], your only move will be to take one of his four-siders with your [7/8]... At that point, if you roll lower than the other four-sider, he takes it and wins; if you roll higher than the other four-sider, he takes your eight-sider with his [14/20], and then only loses on a 11 or 12, which is still an improvement over the initial situation.
He could lose the twenty-sider and still win, but it's not very likely -- he'd have to take both of your bigger dice, and not lose any other dice in the process. So I think he should do whatever puts it the least at risk.
that's exactly right, though if he were to take my [7/8] with his [14/20] he'd lose on if he rerolled 4,11,12 OR 15. but the basic point is valid, he can defer this by one turn by taking the shadow 4-sided die and things only get better.
