Post subject:  New abstract strategy game "FREEDOM"

This is a thread for those who like a abstract strategy games.

FREEDOM is New abstract strategy game, playable with go stones. With simple and attractive rules.
It is combination of n in a row and territory philosophy.

All about game, and online playing you could see on site

:study:
Code:
[b]The objective [/b]of Freedom is to have more "live" stones at the end of the game, than your opponent. A stone is considered to be "live" if it is a part of some horizontal, vertical or diagonal row of exactly 4 stones of the same color.


[b]Play[/b]

A game begins with an empty board.

Each player has an allocated color: White and Black.

White plays first, putting one white stone anywhere on the board.

After this move players take turns placing their stones on empty cells adjacent to the last opponent's stone. If all cells adjacent to the last opponent's stone are occupied then the player gets the right ("freedom") to place his stone on any empty cell of the board.

The game ends when the board is filled with stones. The last player has the right to pass on his last turn (and leave the last cell empty) if placing his stone reduces his score.


If you have comments it is wellcome.


p.s.
Happy New Year to all! :clap:

Maybe an example game demonstrating some subtlety of strategy?

It seems like white should have a komi, as black probably has a nice advantage (or whichever color goes first) just like in renju.
