    Description

    Margo is an abstract board game similar to Go, except that it's played with marbles which may stack upwards. A special capture rule means that captured pieces that support enemy pieces are not removed.

    • Margo is played by two players, White and Black, on a square grid which is initially empty (6x6 is the standard size).
    • Each player has an unlimited number of balls of their color.
    • Players take turns placing a ball of their colour either:
      1. At an empty board point, or
      2. Stacked on top of four existing balls (of any colour).
    • Players may not pass.
    • The game ends when the current player has no legal move. The player with the most balls in play wins.
    • Surround capture: After placing a ball, all enemy groups without freedom are captured and removed from the board, except for those which support enemy balls, which remain active in the game as zombies (only board-level freedoms are counted).
    • Over/under rule: A connection crossing over an enemy connection cuts it.
    • No-suicide: It is not permitted to place a ball without freedom, unless that move captures neighbours to create its own freedom.
    • Ko rule: It is not permitted to repeat the board position of any previous turn.
    • Swap rule: After the opening move, the second player may elect to swap colours in lieu of making a move.

    The name "Margo" = Marbles + Go.

    Notes

    Margo is the big brother of the Series: Shibumi set.
