In the rule “Slugs” add the following at the end of the bulleted list after the text “The following Slugs exist”:
* Name: Iron Slug
* Movement Rules: If any Snail other than the Iron Slug has a Position between 2 less than and 2 greater than the Iron Slug’s Position during an Ongoing Race, any Active Player may make a comment in that Race containing the text “The Iron Slug reverses polarity” and then set the Iron Slug’s position to 35 plus DICE30.
* Extra Effects: The Iron Slug starts each race at a position of 35 plus DICE30. If any Snail other than the Iron Slug has a Position between 2 less than and 2 greater than the Iron Slug’s Position during an Ongoing Race, and the Slug of Death’s Position is less than the Iron Slug’s Position, no Snail other than the Iron Slug may move.
In the rule “Moving” add the following at the end of the bulleted list after the text “The possible Moves are”:
* Magnatron: If the absolute difference between the Iron Slug’s Position and your Position is no more than 20, set your Position to the result of the Iron Slug’s Position + DICE20 - 10
If there is an Ongoing Race, set the Iron Slug’s Position according to its Extra Effects as if that Race had just started.
This makes it worth making some Moves to get close to the Iron Slug and use it to boost your Position, but the Iron Slug’s maximum possible benefit is to get you 3/4 of the way to the finish if you’re really lucky and make it nearly halfway there through other means. Some players may want to manipulate the Iron Slug to attempt to force it to a worse position for other Snails.
for the first-mover advantage and complexity.
