Ещё одна идея для настольной игры. Её фишка...

Another idea for a board game. Its trick is that the rules by which the player’s pieces move, the interaction of the player’s figures between themselves and the field, as well as the state of the figure and the conditions for victory / defeat change before each move of each player.

And now the mechanics:
There is a playing field, 12 to 12 cells. Each cell is one of four colors.
There are figures, one for each player. The figures have a pronounced facial direction.
There are 5 rule areas, each of which can contain two lists:
- the area of ​​the rules for moving the figures (for example, you can move to a neighboring cell or make a “knight” move as many times as there are points on the cube, each time turning the figure in the direction of a short segment of the trajectory),
- the area of ​​rules for the interaction of figures among themselves (you can attack the front one or through the cell in any direction),
- the area of ​​rules for the interaction of figures with the playing field (on a red square, 1 health point is lost, etc.),
- the area of ​​rules by which the state of the figure / player is determined (the number of health points is determined by the number of chips the player has, the strength of the figure is two)
- area of ​​the rules of the onset of victory / defeat (the opponent’s figure is eaten up or the number of health points is less than the value on the die, etc.)
There is a deck of rule lists (lying face down on the table) - there are many rule options for each area, as well as several identical reverse rules. On each of the rule lists its weight (the weight of each list is unique) and price.

Each player has six rule lists on hand. Before making a move, he rolls a die and if he has a list of rules on his hands, the price of which is no more than the number of points on the die, he can replace one of the two lists in the corresponding area with this list (at the beginning of the game in each area be random or empty lists of rules - by agreement between the players). Then roll the die again and make a move in accordance with the new rules. You can only do what is explicitly written in the current rule lists.

If it suddenly turns out that the two rules contradict each other in some way (for example, in one list it is written that you can make a move only on one cell, and in the other - that the amount dropped on the cube), then the rule whose weight more. That is why the weights of the lists are unique. But instead of a list of rules, you can throw out a reverse rule at the beginning of the turn (its price is maximum), and from that moment priority will be given to lists with less weight. To cancel a reverse rule, you need to throw another reverse rule.

After the list of rules is thrown into its area, the player draws a new one from the deck of lists. Canceled lists and reverse rules are either sent to the "cemetery" or mixed into the deck, by agreement between the players.
