Anyone played this variant? It looks like you draw a shape from a deck of cards and then have to play it. Kind of like keima Go, but with more variety and chance.

Iā€™m sure I have seen this game discussed here before, but now I canā€™t find it.

Feels like the lovechild of Go and Scrabble

Same, maybe it was mentioned by Nick Sibicky (Go Content Creator Emeritus)?

Now that you mention itā€¦ maybe it was even made by him? IIRC he makes board games :thinking:

Itā€™s so frustrating not remembering things properly.

Looks like Joker Go. Dia and Blackie sometimes played it at BIBA.

I have played this version Hebsacker Verlag: go-spiele.de - > Joker-Go-Karten

You have to play the shape on the card and there is no ko rule, but when all the cards are used up you play like normal.

I have spent several hours looking for a sub-one-point endgame paper/book that had an interesting 13x13 puzzle to go with it. A pro told me that it is NOT chilling gets the last point, but now Iā€™m just wondering if it was a dream I had instead of a real thingā€¦That just out of reach, canā€™t find the name of the thing, or where you saw the referenceā€¦ugh.
