Abstract
We investigate conditions under which positions in combinatorial games admit simple values. We introduce a unified diamond framework, the -property (), for sets of positions closed under options. Under certain conditions, this framework guarantees that all values are integers, dyadic rationals, or pairs (on or ). As an application, we establish that every position in \textsc{Yashima} game on bipartite graphs has an integer pair value.
