Game play
Decide which player gets which colour, Light or Dark, in any adequate way.
Light goes first, then turns alternate.
On each player's first turn, players place a stone of their own colour on any empty point.
On each player's second turn, players place another stone of their colour so that their own two stones have a path.
Then players take the actions below on every turn, in this order:
- Remove all opponent’s dead groups, if any.
(Note: the MindSports app does this automatically.) - Place a stone of their own colour on an empty point that is on at least one same straight line with an existing friendly stone, and no opponent's stone in between. Passing is not allowed.
Game end
After the second turn, the player with no stones of their colour on the board at the beginning of their turn loses.
