Israel

YOU HAVE THE POWER OF BARRICADES. You can predict your opponents’ moves in advance and build up barricades to hinder them.


Starting configuration for Israel

At the end of your turn, you may choose any unoccupied square on the board. Until the start of your next turn, non-royal pieces may not move into or through that square.

First appearance: 12/5/06 (4th draft of rules).

I'm changing the setup a bit from the default, for more defensive potential, as, after all, Israel is supposed to be a heavily defensive power, and partly just to mix things up.

Removing rule: "Your pieces may not be destroyed by enemy powers."
