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.

The Isolationist Ottoman
Perpetual movements are:
- F 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.
