Exile társasjáték

Angol leírás

Exile is played on a hexagonal grid of hexagons (size 6 recommended) by placing and removing Go stones. White starts. Each turn, place one stone on an empty space, subject to the placement restrictions, and remove stones subject to the capturing rules.

PLACEMENT RESTRICTIONS: Stones may not be placed in “three-mutually-adjacent-stones” triangle formations. If a placement would result in the removal of the placed stone, that placement is illegal. White’s very first move must be in the corner.

DEAD REGIONS: an empty region with only “triangle-forming” placements inside it.

CAPTURING RULES: When a region becomes dead, the winner's adjacent stones are protected from removal this turn, and the loser’s adjacent stones are removed. A dead region is ‘won’ by the player with majority stones along its perimeter.

TIED REGIONS: If a region resolves with a tie in adjacent stones, the opponent of the player whose move created the deadlock wins the tie.

CONFLICTING REGIONS: When a placement results in multiple regions becoming dead, resolutions occur in order from largest to smallest, and stones that are protected cannot be removed. If two opposing regions are tied, priority goes to the opponent of the player whose move created the deadlock.

END GAME: If the current player has no legal moves, the game is scored. When scoring, consider each region, and count the stones owned by each player along that region's perimeter. Tied regions are worth zero. Where one player has more, they earn points equal to that region's size.
