About DipGo

DipGo is a multiplayer strategy game using the rules of Go and inspired by Diplomacy. It is essentially an implementation of multicolour Go. It allows for up to nine teams of up to four players and features elements of negotiation found in Diplomacy, facilitated by in-game public and private messaging.

• What the heck is Go?

Go (also known as baduk or weiqi) is an ancient board game originating in China over 2,500 years ago. It's a game of strategy where two players place black and white stones on a grid, aiming to control more territory than their opponent. Despite having simple rules, Go offers incredible depth and complexity.

• Rules

Basically as normal Go but with more colours:

• Chinese rules
• Positional Superko
• Adjustable Komi in 2 player/ 2 team games, no Komi in multicolour games
• If captures are enabled, points for captures go only to the player/team who made the capture
• All stones left on the board at the end of the game are considered alive.

You can read the complete rules here.
