Description

--- The Wasp piece moves one space around the Hive or stings non-stacked enemy pieces, flipping and disabling them for one turn, with restrictions on recent opponent actions. (24 words) Key mechanics include: - *Movement*: Advances exactly one space around the Hive perimeter. - *Sting ability*: Targets and stings any enemy piece not in a stack, immediately flipping it to immobilize it—no movement, special powers, or re-flipping for one full turn. - *Targeting restrictions*: Prohibits stinging any enemy piece just moved or flipped by the opponent on their turn. The Wasp is a versatile Hive piece offering strategic mobility and disruption: it may relocate one space along the Hive's edge, or forgo movement to deploy its signature sting on any solitary enemy piece outside stacks. The sting instantly flips the target, enforcing a one-turn lockdown where it cannot move, activate special abilities, or be re-flipped, thereby neutralizing threats temporarily. A key limitation prevents stinging pieces freshly maneuvered or flipped by the opponent, promoting tactical timing and counterplay in positioning battles. ---
