Nogo (Go Variant)
Nogo is a variant of the traditional board game Go, which is played on a 19x19 grid. In Nogo, players take turns placing stones on the board, but the key difference is that they cannot place stones in areas where they would create a group of stones that has no liberties, or empty spaces, around it. This rule encourages strategic thinking and careful placement of stones.
The game is designed to simplify the learning process for new players by reducing the complexity of capturing stones. Nogo retains the core elements of Go, such as territory control and strategic positioning, while making it more accessible for beginners.
