Proposal: Herding Cats

Insert the following paragraph after the paragraph that starts with “Each Meeple has three Tokens” in “The Isle of BoardGamia”:

When the rules say that a Token may perform an action, then this means that a Meeple may apply that action to a Token they control.

Append the following paragraphs to the Local Rule of The Island of Kittens:

Each Token has a publicly tracked number of Kittens following it, which defaults to 1. A Small Token may have a maximum of 1 Kitten following it, a Medium Token a maximum of 2, and a Big Token a maximum of 4; a Token or Meeple may not take any action which would set a Token’s Kittens beyond its maximum.

As a Phase 1 Turn Action, a Token that occupies a purple square may gain 1 Kitten and set the colour of that square to white.
As a Phase 3 Turn Action, a Token may transfer some Kittens to another Token controlled by the same Meeple that occupies the same square.
As a Phase 3 Turn Action, a Token may spend 1 Kitten to set the colour of three white squares on the Island of Kittens that do not contain any Tokens to purple.

As a Phase 4 Turn Action, a Token (the “cattacker”) may incite its Kittens to attack another Token (the “victim”) with fewer Kittens that occupies the same square. The cattacker loses 1 Kitten, and the victim’s Position is set to 0.

I’ve noticed there is a lack of kittens on the Island of Kittens. Allow me to remedy this

I do like the phrase “the cattacker”

Although I think “chased off to” works, it’s the sort of rules wording that seems likely to inspire disagreement.

*sigh* If you insist. Rulestext is so bland and boring these days…

(That was in jest, by the way, though it wasn’t very clear)
