Proposal: International Law
In the rule “Island Local Rules”, in the second paragraph, at the end of the third sentence, add the following text:
; the exception to this is when a paragraph in a Local Rule starts with ‘’‘Treaty:’‘’, in which case the rest of the text in that paragraph is not flavor text and applies to all Tokens and all non-idle Meeples.
In the rule “Forbidden Island Local Rules”, replace the text “Whenever a square’s color is changed from White to either Turquoise, Magenta, or Purple, add the name of that color to the end of the Path.” with the following text:
‘’‘Treaty:’‘’ Whenever the color of a square in Forbidden Island is changed from White to either Turquoise, Magenta, or Purple, the name of that color must be added to the end of the Path.
In the rule “Hellapagos Local Rules”, before the text “The color of the squares with values”, add the text:
‘’‘Treaty:’‘’
As I was patching the Forbidden Island Local Rules, I realized that the rule about Island Local Rules being flavor text causes some problems in the cases where you actually want to enforce those rules for Meeples regardless of whether they have Tokens on that Island or not. Rather than junking up other rules with enforceable Island rules, I thought we could introduce the notion of a “Treaty” rule in the Island Local Rules that is not flavor text at any time.
