[Setup] Fractional Go 5

Hello,
Iโ€™m looking to organise a fifth game of Simultaneous Fractional Go!
:slight_smile:
Please feel free to ask me questions about the rules and game setup in this thread.

Rules

Teams & Colours

Players are grouped into Team Black and Team White. Every player places stones with two colours, one being their team colour. The goal is to control more area than the opposing team.
The second colour is shared with a player of the other team.

Multicoloured Stones

Chains and liberties are determined for every colour individually. Stones are part of multiple distinct chains, one for each of its colours. Every chain needs liberties to avoid capture.

Note: Chains may overlap with chains of other colours.

Parallel Moves

All players play a move in every round. The moves are only revealed when all players have submitted.

Collision

If two or more players chose the same position, a stone is played with all colours of these players.

Capture Priority

Chains without liberties that donโ€™t contain a stone placed this round are removed first. This may free liberties for chains that do contain a stone placed this round (similar to Ko situations).

Demo

The Demo Board can be used to experiment with these rules.

Communication

All communication of players about the game must be in one dedicated public thread here on the forum.

Are teams allowed to discuss strategy amongst themselves?

Sure, as long as the discussion is in the public thread, where all players can read it.

Somehow I missed the relevant paragraph above :man_facepalming:
