Now you can’t capture any stones, all the groups have two eyes!

I’d want to play with those two-eyed stones and be invincible :smile:

I know you are joking, but it’s funny you should ask!

I am creating a series of 15 sets. I plan to give them to the different Go associations, keep one or two for myself and my club, and then sell the rest as a limited-edition art project. They would look fantastic displayed on a go board in a place like the Nihon Ki-in, for example.

I also plan on a book with it, suggesting different possible rulesets to take advantage of the pieces being used, how to add to the collection, how to make your own, etc. I believe each set has over 200 pieces of each color now, so you could still play if you put aside all of the egregiously over or undersized pieces.

No I am not joking and you gave a well thought answer.

I just got a 3d printer and it keeps pooping out these

Lol I recognize those! Mine are from a resin printer at my local hackerspace, so no filament poopmojis. But maybe you could try them as stones anyway?
