A streak shield that saves one missed day must also handle two, and a clock gone backwards

Daily streaks make people come back, and a shield that forgives a missed day makes them forgive the game. The fine print is what to do with longer gaps, when shields are earned, and what a weird date does. Here is the whole rule.

Why this works

A streak is a habit the player has built, and one bad day should not erase it. Shields earned by staying with it forgive a short gap, while checking before spending keeps them from being burned on a loss that could not be saved.

When not to use it

Skip it if daily pressure would hurt your players, for instance in a game about calm or one for people who play when they can. A streak there turns play into a chore; reward totals over time instead of unbroken days.
