Variants
   

This is a list of what can be done with a GoBan and stones, other than conventional Go.

Non-Go Games

  • GoMoku? - Five in a row
  • Pente - Like GoMoku?, but with a way of capturing
  • [ext] Renju - Japanese variant of GoMoku?, but with extra rules to give a fairer balance between black and white.
  • [ext] Philosopher's Football - also known as Phutball. A wonderful game invented by John H. Conway. On first attempts it seems simple, but after thrashing around for a while you realise that advance preparation is required. Soon you are creating massively complex tours around the board, which can even end up self-defeating.
