AN ELASTIC MARSH EXPEDITION
Plant the triangle.
Borrow the spring.
Guide a lacquer-orange antler crab across dry islands, living bridges and narrowing wind terraces. Every anchor spends the same brood reserve; at two route splits, braid the reeds for a gentler habitat or cut through open water for speed.

FIELD CARD / ELASTIC CADENCE
Three points, one living bridge
Grip with E. Release the trailing foot with Space, then replant the empty L or R stance with J or K. The orange triangle advances by spring tension, never by running. When tension leaves the green band, the recovery window gives you time to re-center before the marsh closes the route.
W raises cadence and loads bridges. S settles the stance. A and D lean against crosswind and choose Reed Braid (left) or Open Channel (right) at the two gates. Release in the pale green band. The route you commit changes wind, stem cost, and the brood that remains.
At the brood pool, keep all three points planted and complete four clean release cycles. A broad reserve leaves a nursery behind; a fast channel may leave a scar. Both are valid crossings, but the marsh remembers which path you chose.
