Ishidō: The Way of Stones

DOS - 1990
Also available on: Amiga - FM Towns - Genesis - Lynx - Mac - MSX - Sharp X68000

This little known PC version of a popular Japanese board game is similar to Go in that it is easy to learn by hard to master. The object of the game is to fill up the board as much as possible with stones, each of which can be placed only adjacent to a stone that shares either its color or its name. Like all good board games, Ishido is deceptively simple. The more stones that your stone touches, the more points you earnfor that stone. Oriental music and good graphics also add to the atmosphere.
