I can't help but think this is the wrong approach - this rule is complex 
and hard to understand, whereas if we go the other way, and state that 
only those actions explicitly permitted by the rules are legal, then all 
this complexity goes away.

{{
If a game action is not explicitly permitted by the rules, it is prohibited.
}}
