Stadium designers are catering to fans who want more danger in their games. Each pitch will have 4 trapdoors (3D printed tokens will note them on the pitch) that are always active.
Trapdoor Rules: Each time a player from either team enters a square containing a Trapdoor for any reason, roll a D6. On a 1, the Trapdoor falls open, and the player falls through it.
