====== Isolationist Ottoman ======



**Isolationist Ottoman**, also known as Turcvivor or Automatic turc, is a 6-player variant using the standard map.



===== Creation =====

  * Creator: Gwen Maggi

===== Context and Philosophy =====

Designed to allow a 6-player tabletop game using standard cards while maintaining a certain balance. The Isolationist Ottoman pits 7 powers played by 6 players against each other. The seventh power, the Ottoman, is in fact an automaton repeating defensive moves ad libitum.

Perpetual movements are:

A Con S Bul
A Bul S Con
A Ank S Smy
A Smy S Ank
If a unit is dislodged, it does not retreat and is dispersed. Defensive movements do not adapt in any way.
