Hello,
I’m looking to organise a game of Parallel Fractional Go!
This variant is playable for any number of players and features stones with multiple colours.
Platform
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.
Unlike in normal go, here chains can overlap with each other.
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 single stone is placed with all colours of the colliding players.
Capture Priority
Chains without liberties that don’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.
The rules description on govariants is less specific than our setup here.
Communication
All communication about the game must be in one dedicated public thread here on the forum.
Please feel free to ask questions about the rules and setup.
