Province Go is a Go variant which makes the game far more complex. Therefore it is customary to learn the game on a tiny board of 5x5, and then extend to a 9x9, 13x13, etc...

Rules[edit]

Province Go 5x5 opening exemple

In Province Go you have two more options of action in your turn. Instead of adding a stone somewhere, you can also dig a river, or build a bridge. Because of it's unick rules, it can't be played on a normal board, but only on a paper with pencil. Here are the rules for those two extra actions:





River[edit]

River rules exemples

Unlike ordinary Go the stone is placed on the square it self and not on the crossing lines. So, digging a river is made by markering the line in which the river goes.

  • The river has to be straight.
  • The river has to start from a one river point, and to connect to another river point.
  • The river can't cross another river, and can't start from a crossing rivers point (see river 3 in the picture).
  • The river can't be dig in beside of another river (see river 1 in the picture).
  • The river can't cross an existing same color stones group (see river 2 in the picture).
  • The 4 sides of the board are inital rivers.


province[edit]

Provinces exemple

Any time a player dig a new river on the board, he divides a certain province to 2 parts. The initiate province is whole board itself, and then every rivers divides it to more and more provinces. Any province is like a mini board, and has it own territorty points. The river blocks the librety of a stone just like the edge of the board which is a river either. The player who has more territory on a certain province wins the whole province territory points. And the player with the most territory points in general, wins the game.




bridge[edit]

Bridges exemples

bridge is built between two squares with a river in between them. The bridge return the liberty of between these two stone, but only for those two bridge-connected stones.

  • Bridge can't be built beside another bridge.
  • Bridge can't be built on a crossing river point.
