Gameplay

At the start of the game, each player is secretly dealt a card that has one of five colors on it - red, yellow, blue, green, or black. Although each player knows his own color, but not color of any of the other players. The game begins with one hut on each space, the colors being randomly distributed across the huts. On his turn, a player moves all of the huts from one space to another space. When a group of huts is completely isolated (all the surrounding spaces are empty) that space is scored. Scoring is different based on the terrain that those huts are on. The person with the most huts on that space, and anyone tied for the most, gets points. The game ends when the moves have been exhausted.

gollark: Well, instead of making pages contain a list of content blocks of different types, I can just make them contain exactly one content block and add the ability to embed other pages.

gollark: I'm very happy with this idea. It's very ideatic and solves a lot of problems.
