Proposal: Reorganizing the Game Manual

Reached quorum, 5-1. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 19 Feb 2025 17:51:25 UTC

Move the rule “Turns and Rounds” to be the second subrule under “Dynastic Rules”.

Move the rule “The Turn” to be the first subrule under “Turns and Rounds”

Move the rule “Delay Penalty” to be the second subrule under “Turns and Rounds”.

In the rule “Isles of BoardGamia”, remove the second paragraph, the fourth paragraph, and the fifth paragraph.

Add a new rule named “Island Local Rules” as the third subrule under “Dynastic Rules” with the following text:

The term “Local Rule” is interchangeable with “subrule of Island Local Rules”. An island’s Local Rule is the Local Rule whose name contains the name of that island. Each subrule under this rule is known as a Local Rule.

When a Token is in an island, the text of that island’s Local Rule applies to that Token and the Meeple who owns that Token. A Turn Action defined in that island’s Local Rule may only be taken by a Token (or the Meeple who owns that Token) if that Token is in that island. When a Token is not in an island, the text of that island’s Local Rule is considered flavour text for that Token, and is considered flavour text for the Meeple who owns that Token if that Meeple owns no Tokens in that island. Turn Actions defined in an island’s Local Rule may not be applied to Tokens that are not in that island

Variables specified as tracked in an island’s Local Rule are tracked for each Token who is in that Island and are Orphan Variables for Tokens not in that Island. Whenever a Token’s Position changes such that they are in a different island, the variables specified as tracked in that island’s Local Rule must be set to their respective default values for that Token unless otherwise stated in that island’s Local Rule.

Move the rule “The Island of Kittens Local Rules” to be the first subrule under “Island Local Rules”.

Move the rule “Kahuna Local Rules” to be the second subrule under “Island Local Rules”.

Move the rule “Forbidden Island Local Rules” to be the third subrule under “Island Local Rules”.

Move the rule “Hellapagos Local Rules” to be the fourth subrule under “Island Local Rules”.

Move the rule “Spirit Island Local Rules” to be the fifth subrule under “Island Local Rules”.
