Konane

Kōnane · Regional classics · 8x8 square grid

Basic rules
  1. This NPS profile uses an 8x8 papamū filled with alternating black and white stones.
  2. Black removes any own stone, then White removes any own stone; the removals need not be adjacent.
  3. Then jump over opposing stones into empty spaces along one straight orthogonal line. Choose a nearer landing to stop or a farther landing to capture more.
  4. Win by leaving the opponent with no legal jump capture.
How it ends
  • Leave the opponent with no legal jump
  • Capture until the opponent is immobilized
