Can you double back or return to a space you already visited during a move?

The rulebook has no backtracking ban and several players agree it is allowed; the designer's wording is ambiguous.

Yes, in practice. The rulebook does not forbid backtracking; the only restriction is that you cannot end your turn on the space you started on. The designer's 2018 reply ("you cannot double back") was later narrowed to that start-space rule, and most players allow retracing.
