Belt The Front Game

This is a fun little strategy game. Fire draws with the wind. You clear fuel cells into a belt. The belt stops the spread. Hamlet cells must stay unburned, and wood may be given up. Each wind is written on the plot. A dry wind lights a three-cell fan — straight downwind plus two diagonals — so the front widens as it walks. A damp wind lights only the straight cell. Thicket sits for one wind, then draws. Belt near the front while the fan is still narrow. Each wind allows K cuts. Stock is the budget for the whole plot. Unused cuts do not carry. Lift a belt you just cut, or rewind the last wind and try another line. The road on the board shows where the front will walk if you add nothing more. Twelve plots lead from a first drill to turning winds. Fan Bench lets you seed a front and watch a dry fan or a damp cell draw, one step at a time. Held plots, leftover stock, and a belt sketch stay…
