If a player's piece lands on a square with a playing piece that belongs to their partner or is their other colour, then this is called a "mixi blob" (or a "mixed barrier"). Unlike blobs, a mixi blob is equivalent to a single playing piece so the opponent can land on the square and send all the playing bits back to their relevant bases. The opponent can pass over a friendly mixi blob as it provides no barrier to movement; a blob may not be attacked by a piece from an adjacent opposing mixi blob.
