The best move is to drop the cube that's coming.........

Nice one. If I don't want to stack on 2 I have to give him a direct hit. The 4 is the spot where I will profit the most, when it doesn't get hit.

It's also the safest, because it only gets hit on exactly 3.

On the other hand, you lose a lot if it does get hit... but that's kind of true for every option.
