Sz'Kwa

   

I'm not sure Sz'Kwa is strictly a variant, it's played in southern Taiwan and is a sort of kiddies Go.

Examples of the board are given in [ext] Reference1 and [ext] Reference2

Each player has 10 stones. The rules are as Go, except only captures matter in the final score. The game ends when there are no legal moves or when the players run out of stones. You cannot pass.

Ko repetitions aren't banned in the rules as you quickly run out of stones. Sekis can be nasty because you can't pass and may have to fill your own liberties.

The internet has virually no references for this game.
