Is there a reason why tiles can't be slid such that a character would be moved off the center 12 tiles? It seems strange considering that characters can move off those tiles naturally.

The idea is that tiles that move into the "side position" or decks, are moved below the the others. Meaning a tile with a character on can't be moved below another tile. The other case is when there is no tile in the side position on the other side of a row/column. Then a tile can't be moved further to the opposite side.
