MOGO

INTRODUCTION
Fantasy version of Go.
(Mogo = Monster Go)
For 2 (or more) players. 

THE BOARD
Use a 10 X 10 grid. 

VICTORY
There are 3 main ways to win:
Tactical Victory:  You win if you get 7 counters in a row orthogonally or diagonally. 
Logistical Victory: You win if you Capture 20+ Enemy Counters. 
Strategic Victory: When the Board is filled up, whoever controls the most Counters. 

COUNTER SET
Players share a Common Counter Set
Keep the counters in a bowl (henceforth referred to as the Draw Pile). 
Have another bowl for the discards. 
There are 6 Types of Counters:
Units (Creatures)
Locales (Lands)
Relics (Objects)
Enchantments (Magic effects placed on the board)
Sorceries (Magic effects that are discarded when played)
Modifiers (Attach to Counters & enhance them)

STONES
Each player has a set of translucent colored stones of a unique color.
These are used to mark ownership of Counters. 

DICE
Six sided dice are used occasionally.

SETUP
Each player draws 5 Random Counters from the Draw Pile to form their starting hand.
Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first. 

HANDS
Each player has a “Hand” of counters.
These can be kept so that other players can see how many, but not what they are. 

ADJACENCY TERMINOLOGY 
Counters that share a border are said to be bordering one another. 
Counters that share a corner are said to be touching one another. 
Counters that share a border or a corner are said to be adjacent.  

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 5 Phases:
1. Fate Phase
2. Deployment Phase
3. Action Phase
4. Capture Phase
5. End Phase

FATE PHASE
Draw 1 random Counter from the Draw Pile & add it to your hand.

DEPLOYMENT PHASE
Play one Non-Sorcery Counter onto the grid into an empty space. 
Put a Stone on the Counter you just placed to indicate you own (control) it. 
This action is referred to as a Deployment. 
You may only do one Deployment unless your counters allow you to do extra Deployments. 
Some counters produce a special effect when they are deployed. 
Modifier counters are placed directly onto a target counter

DEPLOYMENT RULES
You cannot deploy a Locale adjacent to another Locale. 
You cannot deploy an Enchantment adjacent to another Enchantment. 
You cannot deploy a Unit next to an enemy unit with a Higher Force Rating, unless 
The Unit can destroy that type or is immune to it.
(If Force Ratings change, the smaller units are not removed) 

ACTION PHASE
Certain Counters on the board can do actions such as Moving, etc. 
You may have one such Counter do one action. 
You may only do one Action unless your counters allow you to do extra Actions. 
When moving, Units can only move Orthogonally.
Flying Units can also Move Diagonally. 

CAPTURE PHASE
If you completely encircle an area with Counters that Border the area, all 
Enemy Counters inside that area are Captured. 
This includes corners & the sides of the board in the same fashion as the game of Go. 
Place counters you capture into a separate “Capture” pile. 
Note: Destroyed or Sacrificed Counters are discarded not captured.

END PHASE
Max hand size is 7 counters. 
Discard excess counters. 

SORCERIES
You may freely play Sorceries from your hand whenever appropriate. 
Sorceries have a wide variety of effects. 

ACTION TOKENS
Discard an Action Token to gain an Extra Action in Action Phase.
