This is an old revision of the document!
In order to capture a space (without actually playing a stone in that space, you need to surround it on three sides. The diagram below on the left displays 5 different examples of this. Note that the exception to the rule occurs in corners, where only 2 stones are required for capture.
Once you have surrounded the target territory, it will be captured and a unit will be placed on it at the beginning of your next turn as shown below.
Note that the capturing stones do NOT need to have units on them; they can be “0”s.
To remind you which game you are playing, the type of dice used is displayed on the board.
8-sided dice will win about 44% of the time.
1-sided dice ALWAYS lose when attacking stones with “1”s on them.
Example Move to Capture
Generally speaking it is best to take advantage of the fact that you can make two moves. Both moves can be on the board, but it is highly recommend that one always plays from the bowl. In the following typical sequence, white will make a move that will (with 1-sided dice) guarantee a capture.
By moving a unit on the board to B and playing from the bowl to A, White will surround a black stone on three sides.
