Flea (fan expansion for Hive)

Description

This game piece enforces adjacency-based placement and dual movement modes focused on hopping or sliding through constraints. Key mechanics include: - *Placement restriction* Must be placed touching one of your pieces and one of your opponent's. - *Hopping movement* May hop (like a hopper) over exactly 1 piece in a straight line. - *Sliding movement* May move 1 space, but must fit through the gap. The rules outline precise placement and movement for a game piece, requiring it to be positioned adjacent to both one of the player's own pieces and one of the opponent's, promoting direct engagement at the frontline. Movement provides two mutually exclusive options: hopping over exactly one piece (styled like a hopper) along a straight line, limited to a single hop, or advancing a single space with the condition that the piece must physically fit through the intervening space, demanding careful assessment of board geometry and spatial fit to execute valid maneuvers.
