Four Actions, Zero Octopus Exceptions
Rules v2.8 · Video version 7
Music: Unequal Routes

CLICK: Job ticket. A short trip. Price: one action. Four tickets a turn.

PIP: Eight arms. Eight actions.

CLICK: Four a turn, for the team. Not four each.

PIP: A new job, then. I accept. I have done the paperwork.

CLICK: The paperwork is a drawing of an octopus eating paperwork.

CLICK: Yesterday's ticket is still on the nail. Where was it going?

COACH: J10. The far front door. Nobody asked how far.

COACH: The Hi has speed two. One action carries it two squares along an open path.

COACH: Watch. C3. C4. C5.

COACH: That trip was two squares. It cost one ticket.

COACH: Up, down, left or right. Never through a piece.

PIP: Friends block the hallway too. Eight arms taught me that in a doorway.

COACH: The open path from C3 to C6 is three squares.

COACH: The Hi makes that trip. How many of the four tickets are left?

PIP: I say one left.

COACH: Take as long as you like. Or sit with it and watch.

COACH: Two remain.

COACH: Speed two carried the first two squares. The third square needed a second action.

PIP: I said one. One ticket for every square. I am checking my pockets.

CLICK: Those pockets contain crumbs and disappointment.

CLICK: A partly used action is still an action. One ticket at a time.

PIP: Two squares? One square?

CLICK: One ticket. No change.

COACH: One more square, later. That is a third ticket.

COACH: Distance you did not use does not carry over.

COACH: Same board. One change. Somebody is standing on C4. Count the way around.

CLICK: Five squares around. Three tickets. The blocked line was never a path.

CLICK: Walked past. Did not attack. Walking is not an attack.

COACH: Four coins on the table. They come back when your next turn starts.

COACH: Trace two trips and pay with coins. Leave what you did not spend in sight.

COACH: Stopping here is fine.

PIP: My four spare arms now hold the reference cards. Finally. An advantage.

CLICK: They hold cards. They do not hold actions.
