A captivating 8×8 grid strategy game for tactical minds

The Game

• Migoyugo is a board game for two players
• it is an abstract strategy game that features complete information and no reliance on luck or chance

The Board

• The Migoyugo board is an 8 X 8 grid of 64 squares, all of the same color
• The board is made up of eight rows (1-8 from bottom to top) and eight columns (A-H from left to right)

The Migo

• White always moves first by placing a piece, called a Migo, on any open square on the board
• Players take turns placing Migos, alternating white and black
• A player may place a Migo on any open square on the board, unless it will create an unbroken line longer than 4 pieces of their own colour

The Yugo

• When you form an unbroken line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of exactly 4 pieces of your own color, the last Migo placed in this line becomes a Yugo, represented by a red mark in the center
• When a Yugo is created, all Migos in the line are removed, leaving behind only the Yugo created and any other Yugos in that line
• Yugos can never be moved or removed from the board

Yugo Types

• Yugos are marked differently depending on how many lines are formed in a single move:

Lines Formed	Yugo Type	Marker Symbol
1 line	Single Yugo	(red dot)
2 intersecting lines at once	Double Yugo	(red oval)
3 intersecting lines at once	Triple Yugo	(red triangle)
4 intersecting lines at once	Quadruple Yugo	(red diamond)

No Long Lines

• At no time may either player create a line of more than 4 in a row of any combination of Migos and/or Yugos

Winning

• Form an unbroken line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of exactly 4 Yugos of your own color and you win instantly with an Igo
• If no Igo can be made and no legal moves are available to either player at any time, the game ends with a Wego, and the player with the most Yugos is declared the winner. If both players have the same number of Yugos, the game is drawn
• If a player resigns, the opponent is declared the winner
• If the players compete using a clock, a player is declared the winner if the opponent's clock runs out of time
