Proposal: Taping Up the Cracks

Reached quorum, 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 13 Feb 2025 23:59:44 UTC

In the rule “Isles of BoardGamia”, after the text “When a Token is in an island, the text of that island’s Local Rule applies to that Token” add the text ” 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”.

In that same rule, replace the text “; otherwise, the text of that island’s Local Rule is considered flavour text for that Token” with the text “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”.

In that same rule, after the text “Spirit Island is a 1 by 1 grid with the value of it’s space being 0.” add the text “When referring to any of the islands or grids in any dynastic rule, including this one, squares and spaces are synonymous terms.”

In the rule “Kahuna Local Rules”, replace “Royal Hand that defaults to an empty list” with ‘Royal Hand that defaults to “1,1,1,2,2,3”’. In that same rule, after the text “a Meeple may perform one of the following actions” add the text “for each Token in Kahuna owned by that Meeple”.

In the rule “Mixing Color Pallet”, replace “may turn may turn Spaces Green” with “may turn those Spaces Green”.

Set the Royal Hand of the island named Kahuna to “1,1,1,2,2,3”.

Fixing some issues brought up in prior comments:

* Unifying the terminology of “squares” and “spaces”
* Making sure the Local Rules of an island apply to Tokens and their owners
* Setting the default Royal Hand in Kahuna to a mid-range Rank to add a reasonable bar to become Worthy in that island
* Tying the action to add to a Hand with the number of Tokens owned in Kahuna. I don’t think this is too overpowered, but if someone disagrees, we can change it later

May want to clarify that a Token can only take Turn Actions defined as “a Token may…” in Local Rules if they are actually in that Local Rule’s island (after all, “a Token may” does expand out to “a Meeple may cause one of their Tokens to”)

While you’re at it, could you correct the “If there is an adjacent Yellow Space and Turquoise Space, may turn may turn Spaces Green.”? Right now this reads to me as being able to turn any number of Spaces green if there’s an adjacent yellow and turquoise Space, which doesn’t do anything at the moment because Spaces aren’t Squares but will once this passes
