This is a the second mini game i've created and is much easier to play than the first game

L5R - MINI Game 1 - Yoso Go

I'm not going to explain all the rules for placing stones as they can be found in the first game, so if you understand that game then this should be super easy t follow.

****************************
RULES

Decide who goes first

Players take turns placing stones onto the board

Each round they can only place a new stone.

Once a stone is in place then it stays there the whole game. It can't be captured and it never moves.

Just like the first game players must play in the same element type that matches the spot where the last token was placed.

There are 2 ways to win
1, If you're opponent can't make a legal move then you win
2, If you fill any of the 20 lines with 4 of your tokens you win

Ok Lets run through a quick game to see how it plays
The honour player goes first and plays Void Zone on the Void spot.

Nice, another good idea. I think this one will catch on quicker as it is simpler to learn. Probably teach this one first to get folks used to placement then teach them game #1.
