Collective development of a server for variants

This does bring up the question though, after capture are the quantum move positions still linked? It seems like they are, and I wasn’t aware when I wrote the rules description. :thinking:

Yes!

This wasnt obvious to me either from the written rules, but Zi clarified during testing:

We did find a minor issue, i.e., the quantum pairs should live or die together, so once they are removed, the paired positions are still paired, meaning if a new stone is placed on one board in one of the quantum positions, it should also appear in the paired position on the other board.

This variant is now available under the name Lighthouse! You can find the rules description and demo at https://www.govariants.com/variants/lighthouse/rules

@Jon_Ko and I are currently playing, and I’m streaming my perspective (without commentary) at Twitch

We’ve created a space on Element for the purpose of chatting, arranging games, feedback etc. (partly to make up for the lack of a chat).
Here’s the invitation link: https://matrix.to/#/#govariants:matrix.org (you can also find it on the About page.)

I found my old drafts for another 4-regular periodic pattern, which I’m thinking of adding to our collection. Any name ideas?

Edit (because I replied too often): I’m basically done with the implementation, just looking for a good name now :sweat_smile:
I searched a bit, but did not find an official name.
