Proposal: The Forest for the Trees

In the rule “Isles of BoardGamia”, add the following text:

A Token whose Position is less than the value of a square is said to be behind that square. A Token whose Position is greater than the value of a square is said to be in front of that square.

In the rule “The Turn”, after the text “[4 for Big Tokens, 3 for Medium Tokens, 2 for Small Tokens]” and before the text “Roll Sicherman Dice of your own Dice Type”, insert the text “As an action called Walking,”.

In the rule “Forbidden Island Local Rules”, replace the rule text with the following:

Each Token has a publicly-tracked Status, defaulting to None.

For each Token in the Forbidden Island, the Density for that Token is a calculated value that equals the number of contiguous Green squares immediately in front of that Token’s Position, and the Barrier for that Token is the first Green square in Forbidden Island that is in front of that Token.

Whenever a Token’s Position is changed, if that Token’s new Position would move it on or in front of that Token’s Barrier, the following rules apply:
* If that Token’s Status is Lost, and Walking was performed for that Token this Turn, if the result of that Walking was at least equal to that Token’s Density, that Token’s Status is set to None. Otherwise, that Token’s Position remains the same as it was just before that Walking was performed.
* If that Token’s Status has not been Lost this Turn, that Token’s Position is instead set to the square immediately preceding that Token’s Barrier and that Token’s Status is set to Lost.

I re-wrote Raven’s text to be a little more workable.

Should probably specify that if you move from behind multiple green squares to on or in front of them, it’s the earliest one that sets you to before it, otherwise if I Walk and would’ve gone from

t__G__G__

to

___G__G_t

my position can arguably be set by the green square to

___G_tG__

bypassing a green square.

Also Density should probably be defined as the number of contiguous green squares immediately in front of a token, otherwise I have a Density of 3 if I’m in this position

__tG___GG

when by Raven’s intention the Density should be 1
