I thought you couldn't steal your pin back?

You can't steal it back directly. For example,

- 1 picks Pin A
- 2 steals Pin A
- 1 cannot steal Pin A directly back

However, you can do this (which is what is happening now I'm pretty sure):

- 1 picks Pin A
- 2 steals Pin A
- 1 picks Pin B
- 3 steals Pin B
- now 1 can no longer steal back Pin B, but they are free to steal Pin A

EDIT: pargani is correct :D Also, wait, so did Calvin steal mine or is he still thinking?

I think you just can't steal back a pin that was just stolen from you.

Your right, we established this earlier in the game.

Wait, really? You can't steal your pin back ever :( I think that is kind of unfair because if you happen to pick a random pin and it is a great one that is bound to at least get stolen once, then that means you have no chance of getting it back. I think it is more fair if the stars align you happen to pick another great pin that gets stolen as well, then you can get redemption. That is just at least how I thought of it.
 
What I meant to say is that we establishe the original rules in the game of not being able to steal back directly after a pin is taken but the scenario you gave below can happen.

However, you can do this (which is what is happening now I'm pretty sure):

- 1 picks Pin A
- 2 steals Pin A
- 1 picks Pin B
- 3 steals Pin B

Okay, so Calvin did do that and stole my-er, I mean his PODM back, right? In which case it is now my turn again, or did he not choose to steal it?
 
Okay, then what shall I do for my turn...hmmmm...give me a few minutes, I think I know what I am going to do :)

I think I'm going to steal the Gondola pin from Alex...thus...we are back where we began this turn lmao XD (except me and locostitch just swapped pins and locked both down) Sorry Tangled fans :(

Sadly, it was also what I predicted. I kind of knew I wasn't going to be able to hold onto that Tangled PODM so I was just hoping something I like equally or better came out before it got stolen (and that it did...that it did...)
