Description

--- The Firefly bug variant is a fan-made expansion that attracts bugs from the hive top at two fields' distance, moves one field, adding flavor while balancing Beetle power. (22 words) Key mechanics include: - *Bug attraction* Pulls other bugs from atop the hive at a distance of two fields. - *Movement* Advances one field per turn. - *Balancing purpose* Enhances game flavor and counters the Beetle's overpowering strength. This fan-made expansion introduces the Firefly bug variant to enrich the game's dynamics. The Firefly possesses dual core abilities: it attracts other bugs from the top of the hive precisely at a distance of two fields, enabling strategic repositioning of pieces, and it can move one field independently. Designed explicitly to infuse additional flavor into gameplay while addressing balance issues, it tempers the Beetle's dominant power, fostering more varied and equitable tactical engagements without altering core rules. ---
