@JDizaster 2 жыл бұрын
I love it because it looks like I could build my own for about 10 bucks, including some fancy oil to make the rope smell good. Question: what happens if you knock a piece that isn't on an edge? Is any collision a 'take'? Or do you just nudge them one square over?
@heishikaej 2 жыл бұрын
No, only stones knocked directly off the board edge are removed. You can still push opponent's stones on the board without taking them off if you need to. You can in theory push a stone two spaces without knocking it off, but in practice it's much more likely you'll push one off the edge.
