AQUAIGNIS

THE GOAL

First player to 4 Breakthroughs wins.

THE BOARD

• 7 vertical Flows (columns 1–7), each with 6 slots (0–5)
• AQUA enters at bottom (pos 0) and moves up
• IGNIS enters at top (pos 5) and moves down

ACTIONS (2 PER TURN)

• SPAWN — Place a Charge-1 piece at your entry in any flow (including your Barrier flow)
• CHARGE — Increase a piece’s charge by 1 (max 3)
• ADVANCE — Move 1 slot forward. Clashes won by higher charge
• SURGE (Charge 3) — 2-slot push. Ends at Charge 1 + pulse to adjacent flows
• BARRIER — Convert a piece into a durable permanent Barrier (1 per player)
• SIDE JUMP (Charge 2+) — Jump to adjacent flow at exact same height (wraps 1↔7)

SIDE JUMP OUTCOMES

• Only valid if opponent occupies the exact matching height in an adjacent flow
• Cannot target a flow containing an enemy Barrier
• Higher charge: destroy enemy, land at Charge 1
• Equal or lower: your piece is destroyed

BARRIER RULES

• Only one active Barrier per player. Never expires.
• Your pieces Advance, Surge, and Spawn through your own Barrier freely
• Enemy cannot Side Jump into a flow with your Barrier
• Enemy Advance/Surge into Barrier: stronger charge destroys it; otherwise it loses 1 durability

BREAKTHROUGH

Reach the opponent’s entry end (pos 5 for AQUA / pos 0 for IGNIS) → score 1 Breakthrough and the piece is removed.

Good luck. Control the flow.
