Go-like game on a hex board that doesn't suck

Really? I see it quite clearly blue.

Yes, really. Displays are generally not calibrated to some absolute universal standard.
( An exception: graphics professionals who have their displays professionally calibrated, because their livelihood depends on it. )

Not to mention every organism's different light receptor cells and neurons.

In any case, neither of us sees the stated grey.

Hi Nick,

Nitpicky suggestion:

• The Blooms territory arrow is clear and unambiguous ;
• The Go territory arrow is less... ( you elaborate in following text ) ;
• Perhaps an (almost) unconditionally alive shape is better than a locally dead shape... ? (I use a vertical shape consistent with your webpage flow)

Good point. I'm going to make some revisions this weekend, and I'll work on that image then.

Looks interesting. I'd be interested in a set if you get to the KickStarter stage.

I just noticed that the example game has an opening that looks rather like a Catchup opening. I wonder if you think that's coincidence, a result of you playing/inventing Catchup in the past, or indicative of a connection?

Are you referring to this game?

Heh. Yep. I'm the inventor of Catchup.
