Rengo cafe

[Atorrante]

Since rengo / pair go is a game involving 3 (or more) players, communication will be important. In this topic - Rengo cafe - you will find a place where (rengo)players can talk with people who are also enthusiastic about pair go.

What to talk about?

• what is pair go?
• where can you find info about it?
• meeting people who want to play a game of rengo
• organising a game (what setting, etc.)
• looking for a rengo partner
• enjoying the apres rengo
• etc.

Have fun!

Since rengo / pair go is a game involving 4 (or more) players,

3 or more actually

How it recently started and evolved

What's a good bounty to implement Rengo?

I’d be willing to donate money for this purpose, questions: are there already plans to implement Rengo? are there already donations specifically for implementing Rengo? how much would be needed? how long would it take the devs to implement approximately?

Thank you @Gozart

Rengo: what to do about dropout / AFK players

If rengo game starts, but 1 of players offline for a minute and didn’t make any move, players of his team should be able to kick him out, so game finally starts (that problem just happened, we finally waited enough to get 4 people, but had to cancel after)

Rengo psychology

[Schermafbeelding 2021-12-28 om 10.27.03] Source And suddenly the topic drifted into a discussion about the psychology of rengo, as you can observe from the quotes underneath: Instead of going off topic I created this new topic where - if we wish - we can discuss the ins and outs of inter- and intra team psychology (and not forgetting the individual psychology of course). Subjects that could be dealt with are: playing in an unbalanced (strong + weak) or a balanced team (approx. sam…
