Proposal: Expanding the snail armory
Add the following items to the list of Items in the rule “Items”:
- Lungfish: Move 6cm forwards.
- Vortex: Swap places with a Gastropod whose position is within 8cm of yours.
- Helmet: Specify a type of Predator in a comment to the Ongoing Race. The next time a Snail Spots Danger, if that type of Predator is the chosen Predator, you are not considered Prey for the purpose of that Spot Danger action.
- Springboard: If you were selected for another Snail’s Leapsnail since you made your previous Play, move 10cm forwards (otherwise, you do not move).
- Caffeine Pill: The next two Plays you make can be made ignoring the restriction that Snails who have made at least three more Plays than every other Snail cannot make Plays.
Having more options for items makes races more strategic and more chaotic, which seems especially useful if we’re making the dynasty depend on one final Race.
Caffeine Pills has a few too many fun applications for my liking.
