A territory game on a 19×19 grid: you score a point for every stone you placed, minus a penalty for each of your connected groups. Grow existing groups or start new ones, and keep the group count down.

Inventors: Christian Freeling, Benedikt Rosenau

See MindSports: Symple.

A lower penalty favours more groups; a higher penalty favours fewer, larger groups.
