=== 1. Conservative (recommended default) — 1 Sacrifice Token per player; skip-next-turn penalty as described. Good balance. ===
# Compensatory — Instead of skipping, the granter receives a deferred extra ply to be used at any future single turn (i.e., they can play two consecutive moves on one later turn). This keeps counts equal but moves the compensation timing to the granter’s discretion. - Note: this variant can be more powerful (because the granter controls when to take the extra ply) and may need 1 token only.
# Material-cost Sacrifice — Rather than skipping, the granter must immediately remove a pawn of their choice from the board (or sacrifice any minor piece). This is more immediately punishing and may lead to richer strategy but changes material balance rather than move parity.
# Auction / Bidding — Each player starts with currency; players may “buy” a Double Move for the opponent by bidding currency. Balancing is complex; not recommended for casual play.
# Stacking forbidden — For simplicity forbid a player from granting a Double Move while a skip for them is pending.
