English Language & Usage Asked by Shondoit on August 19, 2021
I’m looking for words that describe specific types of manipulation.
The context is board games, but I’m actually looking for more generic words.
Specifically, I’m looking for words that describe manipulations between regions. Technically, everything is a type of “movement”, but I want to describe the different directions of movement.
As an example, you have player A, player B, shared area S and vacuum 0 (i.e. create something from nothing).
S -> A: Acquire
A -> S: Place/Deploy
A -> B: Transfer
X -> X: Move
0 -> X: Generate/Produce
X -> 0: Dispose/Discard
Are there any more words that describe specific directions of movement?
I believe these words may work, but I also feel like they are not strict enough. If one hears “Acquire” they may think they can acquire elements from other players, which would be better described with another word (like Transfer)
Here are some more words off the top of my head:
S -> A: Take/Obtain/Discover/Procure
A -> B: Give/Receive/Trade
X -> X: Shift/Relocate
0 -> X: Create/Form/Build
X -> 0: Destroy/Consume/Spend
