Taugo
DescriptionIntroduction:Taugo (from Proto-Germanic: Taugô, meaning "string, rope") is a board game for two players: White and Black. It is played on the intersections (points) of an initially empty square board without the lines on the edges. The recommended board size is 16 points per side, but smaller boards can be used for shorter games. Each player has access to a sufficient supply of equal stones of two colors, the obverse of one color and the reverse of another color. Definitions:– A string is a set of orthogonally connected stones. A single stone is also a string. Turns:Black plays first, then turns alternate. On your turn, do one of the following actions: – Place a stone on an empty point not orthogonally adjacent to friendly stones to form a new string. When growing a string, you can keep placing more stones on any number of empty points in a straight line to the empty point of the perimeter line or to a friendly stone, you can also do it on any number of points occupied by enemy stones to cut them replacing them with friendly stones, unless they are lateral stones or isolated stones since they are immune. Also, no player is allowed to place stones on the empty points on the edge, but they can be accessed by using them as cut points as we will define below. End of the game:The game ends when both players pass their turn consecutively and the player with the highest value strings wins. The value of a string is determined by the number of stones found on the perimeter line. The value is calculated by adding the consecutive natural numbers from 1 to the number of stones on the string. For example, a string with 3 stones on the perimeter line has a value of 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. To avoid ties, the player with the fewest strings receives an extra half point. Finally, additional points are awarded for each stone that was able to reach the edge of the board following the same scoring method described above, but without taking into account the strings to which they belong. In order to make the game fair, before the game starts, the first player starting black stone and the second player chooses the sides. This balancing method is called the pie rule. —description from the designer Game DiscussionsAdd CommentYou need to be logged in to comment. Insert Bullet List Please enter at least one item.
