Butterfly Effect: Evolve Your Present

Monday, February 05, 2007

Play Test # 1

Notes:

-Start with one of each species
-3 Actions per turn
-Placement is up to the player, but must be 3 hexes away from any win spot.
-Modifying is a move

Counterattack: Allows a return attack when attacked.

Roll off to see who gets to place their first piece.
Can only place pieces in the present.
If the character is defeated, remove from board.
Can only stay 1 turn the past, automatically booted back.
Overlaps incur battles.
Ripple effect happens during the players next turn.
If the ripple effect occurs on a border or a friendly creature, the pieces can still be placed in the
area of the ripple pattern.

No difference in attack power.
