Description

"Dragonfly movement" is a board game rule for piece navigation involving elevation, linear traversal over the Hive, and descent, emphasizing directional continuity and board geometry. Key mechanics include: - *Initial ascent* The Dragonfly moves one space upward onto the Hive. - *Hive traversal* Once atop the Hive, it shifts to any adjacent piece. - *Straight-line continuation* It proceeds in a straight line in the same direction across pieces. - *Descent to ground* Movement ends by dropping back to ground level at the row's conclusion. The Dragonfly's movement mechanic requires it to first advance one space upward to occupy the Hive. Upon reaching the Hive's top, it must transition to any neighboring piece and maintain a straight-line path in the identical direction, traversing subsequent pieces until it reaches the row's terminus, where it descends to ground level, enforcing precise geometric and directional constraints on its path.
