Game Reviews by RobertPrice
I can think of three ways to restore a Berzerk SIR unit to normal operation:
- You move your Berzerk SIR unit moves to a square of the opposite color, and under the command of your remaining Invader
- You promote an Irken Soldier to Invader on a same-colored square
- You are playing Invader Zim Bughouse (!) and you drop an Invader onto a same-colored square
Joining by reflecting is not so contrived. Imagine constructing the half-boards out of stiff cardstock or plastic, checkered on both sides so that the bottom-right square from each perspective is light. Use magnetic chess pieces in pairs so that they attract each other through the material. Bind several of these half-boards together with loops of string along the joining edge in an arrangement just like the illustration that opens the article. Now you join half-boards by flipping to two pages and ignoring whatever happens to lie in between.
But I said I was 'about to suggest'. That's because this arrangement causes the act of moving a bishop from the Green half-board to Orange, and then later to Blue, and then back to Green, to have the consequence of changing the Bishop's colorbinding because it has effectively been reflected an odd number of times. I still like the idea somewhat, but I think it is more important to have colorbound bishops than a symmetrical royalty-seating arrangement.
