xGo -- go with a global goal

Public forum discussion.

It sounds obviously crazy, but I honestly believe we've found the best default way to play Go with a global goal (and thus no need for counting rules, komi, etc.)`

  • Use the pie rule
  • Follow Go rules until both players pass
  • Then follow Hex rules until game is resolved.

Comments and criticism appreciated. Or let me know if it's already been invented.

There's (not very much) more detail on this hidden wikipedia page

That looks fun. I'd try it!

The biggest detail that I discovered from the page was the diagonal connections when the board is in "Hex" mode.
