Proposal: Helpful Kittens

Change the text of “The Island of Kittens Local Rules” to:

As a Phase 3 Turn Action, a Meeple whose Position corresponds to a green square of the Island of Kittens may change their Position to correspond to the green square of the Island of Kittens with the next-higher number among green squares, or to 0 if there is no such square. This action is Mandatory if it is possible to perform.

or, if “The More The Merrier” was enacted:

As a Phase 3 Turn Action, a Meeple whose most recently moved Token’s Position corresponds to a green square of the Island of Kittens may change that token’s Position to correspond to the green square of the Island of Kittens with the next-higher number among green squares, or to 0 if there is no such square. This action is Mandatory if it is possible to perform.

We’re using snakes-and-ladders-style boards, which inspired me to make some ladders. I think the vision is for the Island of Kittens to be easier to get through than the others, and possibly with simpler mechanics, so here’s a simple mechanic to start us off.

against After moving to the next green square on previous turn, a green square will again be occupied, thus forcing the player to again move to the next green square on each of their turns until they drop back to 0

@DesertFrog: this is a Turn Action (so that it can only be once per turn) and Phase 3 (so that it can only be done after moving from a dice roll), which means that it can’t be chained to itself – you have to have a dice roll in between.
