Blooms

A colorful, minimalist, 2-player strategy game inspired by Go, in which players surround and capture opposing groups of stones. Each player controls two stone colors and places one or two stones per turn, with two placements required to use different colors. After placing, all of the opponent’s surrounded groups are removed. Players may sacrifice their own stones to weaken opposing formations and gain positional advantage, with the first player to capture the target number of stones winning.
