Proposal: Checkers
In Rule “Isles of BoardGamia”, add a subrule called “Diagonal Buddies” with the following description:
If you have spaces with the values “X” and “Y”, they can only be “Diagonal Buddies” if all these following conditions are met:
- X and Y are on the same Island
- X and Y share 2 mutual neighbors to which one mutual neighbor is 1 more or less in relation to X and 10 more or less in relation to Y while the other mutual neighbor is 1 more or less in relation to Y and 10 more or less in relation to X.

Also in subrule “The Turn” in rule “Turns and Rounds”, add another bullet in Phase 3 with the description:
[5] You may set one of the Diagonal Buddies of the space your last moved token is currently on to the same color of the space your last moved token is currently on.
The wording should probably be simpler, but it’s nice to have a way to modify the colours of occupied squares
ais523:
The first blockquote puts a restriction on Diagonal Buddies, but doesn’t actually make any squares into buddies. I think you could simplify this to “Two squares are diagonal buddies if they are on the same island and share two neighbours.”
The second blockquote is missing a verb – perhaps “set” between “may” and “one”?
