In the rule “Isles of BoardGamia”, replace “2(if the major island is Forbidden Island) or 3” with “2”.
In the same rule, remove all instances of the text “Forbidden Island”.
In the rule “The Networks”, replace “Space 201 on Forbidden Island” with “Space 201 on Hellapagos” and remove the sentence beginning with “Space 300 on Forbidden Island”.
Repeal the rule “Forbidden Island Local Rules”.
In the rule “Meeple Nobility”, remove the text “the Royal of Forbidden Island hates being directly referred to” and remove the text “(or, for the Royal of Forbidden Island, Meeples are encouraged to always refer to them in a very roundabout way)”.
In the same rule, replace every instance of “four” with “three” and replace every instance of “4-player” with “3-player”.
In the rule “Winning”, replace every instance of “400” with “300”.
In the rule “Gates”, replace “and 300, and 399” with “and 299”.
Removing an Island makes the journey to the end a little shorter. No one has come up with a game board idea for the Forbidden Island yet that has stuck, so that’s the reason for choosing that one.
Another option might be making the other island grids smaller, but that requires messing with the grid formula.
I think 4 islands is enough. I imagine the Kitten Island turquoise squares will speed things up significantly once people get onto other islands. I’ve something in mind for Forbidden Island but am holding back until we get near there

Technically Spirit island has no local rules either
