welcome to gridisland. how to re: on your first remix, take 4 tiles in a 2x2 shape from the starting island. if there isn't space, you can start at an island, but only take 1 tile. this is to prevent islands from being bricked instantly. give yourself 5 wood. take a tile on next remixes. wood tiles can't be captured but can be harvested by standing next to them. you can only harvest wood if you're able to "take" the wood with 1 normal move. (no diagonals) wood can be used to build bridges to go to different islands. note, they must be all attached, so no skipping. the owner of the bridge is determined by the outline of the bridge. if you eliminate someone, you take all their wood. if you captured all tiles in an island, that island is bricked. that means nobody can capture it. if you spend 20 wood you can turn an island to an ISLAND™ 4000. that island can move one tile at a time, however you can upgrade it to 2 tiles/move if you spend 50 more wood. when it touches another island it takes tiles from that island into it. it can even take tiles from the starting island! however you are only able to get one if the island bricked and has 16/16 tiles. if all 4 islands are bricked, a vote is set. option 1 is that there are more islands added. option 2 is that all 4 islands automatically become an ISLAND™ 4000 and battle each other. no more new players can join. after 100 remixes the ISLAND™ 4000 with the most tiles win. also, as an added bonus, the starting island is reset.
