Proposal: Kahuna Does Not Mean Free

In the rule “The Turn”, replace the bullet starting with “(Kahuna) Up to once per Token you control on Kahuna per Turn” and its sub-bullets with the following:

* (Kahuna) [3 plus the number of times you performed this action already this Turn] This action may be applied once for each Token you control in Kahuna per Turn. If your Hand has 4 or fewer numbers, roll Sicherman Dice of your own Dice Type and add the individual die results (rather than the sum of the dice) from that roll to your Hand.
* (Kahuna) [3 plus the number of times you performed this action already this Turn] Set your Hand to an empty list.
* (Kahuna) If your Hand has a higher Rank than the Royal Hand, set the Royal Hand to your Hand.

In the same rule, under the bullet “Phase 3:”, remove the bullet with the text “(Kahuna) If your Hand has a higher Rank than the Royal Hand, set the Royal Hand to your Hand.” and add the following bullets:

* (Kahuna) [5] This action may be applied once for each Token you control in Kahuna per Turn. If a Token you control in Kahuna has the same Position as a Token that another Meeple controls, you may swap one of the numbers in your Hand with one of the numbers in their Hand.
* (Kahuna) [20] Set the Royal Hand to its default value.

With our new Energy-spending mechanism in play and working reasonably well, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the Kahuna mechanics and incorporate some Energy spends, especially considering that by the time Meeples reach Kahuna, their Energy per Turn will be quite a bit higher than it is now.

for, though I’m unsure if the “This action may be applied once for each Token you control in Kahuna per Turn.” does anything. We already have “If an action in a Phase has an associated Energy cost, a Meeple must spend that amount of Energy to take the action, and may take the action any amount of times per Turn.”, which doesn’t seem to be ruled out by the restriction (you may apply it once per token, but you also may apply it any number of times). Should probably be an “at most” in there

Yeah, looks like that wording was used elsewhere for other turn actions, so it needs to be patched in a few places.
