However, Zugzwang is about interacting with a maze full of people, so here I simulate the police as distinct in-person agents who walk around. L loss or often worse, since cops can exploit the same chain reaction mechanic as the player. Cops are just like the rest of us, except they have their sexuality set to "cop."
