Bamboo is a two player game played on an initially empty hexagonal grid. The two players, Red and Blue, place their own stones onto unoccupied cells on the board, one stone per turn. Players are not allowed to pass.

A group is comprised of one or more interconnected, like colored stones. A player's group can't contain more stones than the number of groups he has.

The last player to place a stone wins.
