The ancient game of stones on 9x9, 13x13 and 19x19. Learn it on a 98-stage Journey of lessons, problems and robot matches, solve three Daily Problems, race the Stone Rush leaderboard, play Pip to Nova with handicap or a friend on one phone, and collect boards, stones and rooms.
Surround more of the board than your opponent: your score is your stones plus the empty points you wall off, and White gets 6.5 points for moving second. Tap a crossing to place a stone; a chain with no empty neighbours is captured. Pass twice to end the game and the board is counted for you. Learn step by step on the 98-stage Journey, solve three Daily Problems, race the 3-minute Stone Rush, or play robots from Pip to Nova, with handicap stones if you like, or a friend on one device.
