Faultline Holiday Guild

A fictional guild member must cross a quake-shaken calendar board, where each Japanese holiday changes movement rules and every tremor redraws the safest route.

Creation: creation_89913b72636aeb8a1068794109a4be2d
Player action: Choose one of three movement cards, then advance the guild pawn across the board while the person, quake, and holiday signals alter the route.
Style cartridge: 🎲 Board Game · board-game
Novelty delta: The three APIs become interlocking board rules: identity is the pawn, quakes are hazards, and holidays are tactical exceptions that change play.

Causal chain

1. randomuserCreates the guild pawn identity and portrait that anchors the player's role.
2. usgs-quakesTurns quake magnitude and place into hazard tiles and movement penalties.
3. nager-dateMaps holidays to safe camps, bonus moves, and route exceptions.

API roles

API	Operations	Essential role
randomuser	person	Supplies the named pawn, portrait, nationality token, and player-facing identity for the expedition.
usgs-quakes	recent	Supplies live hazard severity and location labels that reshape the board and scoring rules.
nager-date	holidays	Supplies the fixed holiday deck that creates safe camps and special movement effects.

Dependency

usgs-quakes → rules → nager-date: The strongest quake sets the movement penalty, while the holiday deck determines which camp can cancel or reduce it.
