+=====Summary=====
+Bit of a boardgame design challenge here.  Can I make a game using thrown away bits of another game?
+Number of Players: 2-5\\
+Type of game: Abstract strategy tile laying
+=====Rules=====
+====Pieces====
+  * 20 square counters from the centres of the Colosseum arena pieces which consist of-
+    * two blank counters with a light and dark side in 5 colours
+    * two arena stand counters with a light and dark side in 5 colours
+====Glossary====
+**Board Piece** __(//**BP**//)__ - A blank counter of your colour.\\
+**Fortification** __(//**F**//)__- An arena stand counter of your colour.\\
+**Mobile mode** - A counter that is light side up.\\
+**Attack mode** - A counter that is darker side up.\\
+**Touching** - An edge to edge laying of counters.\\
+**Flipping** - Changing the mode of a counter by turning it over.
+====Setup====
+Each player takes four counters of the same colour - two **Board Pieces** and two **Fortifications**.\\
+Note: All pieces initially placed are done so in **Mobile mode**.
+  - Placing **Board Pieces**
+    - One player places their first __(//**BP**//)__
+    - Each other player places one __(//**BP**//)__ such that it touches one other player's __(//**BP**//)__ - but does not touch any other player's __(//**BP**//)__.
+    - Each player then places their second __(//**BP**//)__ such that it touches their previous __(//**BP**//)__ but no other player's __(//**BP**//)__.
+  - Placing **Fortifications**
+    - Each player places their first __(//**F**//)__ such that it touches one of their __(//**BP**//)__s but no other player's __(//**BP**//)__.
+    - Each player places their second __(//**F**//)__ such that it touches one of their __(//**BP**//)__s or the previous __(//**F**//)__ but no other player's __(//**BP**//)__ or __(//**F**//)__.
+=====Playing=====
+Each turn consists of a player making two actions.  The two actions made can be any combination of-
+  * Moving a **Mobile** Board piece or Fortification
+  * Moving an **Attack** Board piece or Fortification
+  * Flipping a Board piece or Fortification
+====Moving====
+===Mobile Mode===
+  * If moving the counter will not disconnect any other counters (i.e. it will still be possible to trace a path from any counter to any other counter through touching edges)
+  * If the counter you wish to touch has at least two exposed edges.
+  * If the counter you wish to touch is not fully enclosed by other counters.
+Move the counter and any other counters on top of it to touch the other counter.
+  * A counter in Mobile Mode cannot move on top of another counter, but can carry other counters.
+===Attack Mode===
+  * If the counter has no other counters on top of it.
+  * If moving the counter will not disconnect any other counters (i.e. it will still be possible to trace a path from any counter to any other counter through touching edges)
+Move it to touch a counter next to it or move it on top of a counter it is already touching.
+  * It can move only 1 space.
+  * It can move on top of another counter.
+  * If it is a Fortification piece and you are moving it on top of another Fortification piece belonging to a different player - you capture that piece.
+  * Moving a Fortification piece onto a stack of other counters will only effect the top most counter, and only then if it is a Fortification piece.
+====Flipping ====
+  * If the counter has no other counters on top of it.
+  * If the counter had no other counters beneath it.
+Turn the counter to its other side.
+  * It stays in its current position.
+=====Ending the Game=====
+The game ends when only one player has any Fortification pieces left.
