Traditional French game of the 17th century.
This version of Conspirators is played upon the 19x19 Go board with two players, Black and White. Each player begins the game with 20 Stones each. Beginning with Black, each player places all of their Stones, one per turn, within the area defined by the standard handicap points. Then each player, in turns, may move a Stone in any orthogonal or diagonal direction to an adjacent vacant point, or jump over a friend- or foe-occupied point to the next which is vacant. If other jumps are available, the Stone can continue to jump in any direction. The first player to place all their Stones upon the Shelters, those red points around the board, wins. |
