Pillar Go (or Coin Go)

Essentially the same basic idea was previously proposed in another thread (see Random Gaps + Pie Rule), where they already played a few test games of this variant. @shinuito even created a tool for producing board positions with “holes”: https://shinuito.github.io/9x9board.html which is helpful for generating images to share while playing pilot games. See the other thread for more details.

I think it is way too premature to write this into a Wikipedia page. Topics have to attain a certain degree of notability before they should be documented in Wikipedia. It is not a place to simply post new ideas or conduct original research. I expect that editors might summarily delete such content. For the variations where coins can be “spent” during the course of the game, I don’t think even any test games have been played.

A better place to post such things would be Sensei’s Library.
