The game starts on an empty board. Players take turns to put one stone. White begins.
 | Object
The game is won by the first player who:
- creates a straight or diagonal line of 5 or
- captures 10 (keryo: 15) stones.
Capture
Pairs of opponent's stones that are straight or diagonally adjacent can be captured in the 'custodian fashion', that is: by sandwiching them between two of one's own stones. As in othello, it is the act of sandwiching that brings the capture: black can make a double capture at A, white can play safely at B.
In keryo pente triplets can be captured likewise. |
