Path Of Stones

A quiet board. Two colors. One decision that changes everything.

I am Koro.

You won't hear me speak during the game. You won't see me rush or react. But I am always there — every time you place a stone.

At first glance, the board looks pretty empty — just a bunch of lines and dots. But there's something about that emptiness — like it's waiting for something to happen.

In Path Of Stones, you don't chase points. You shape space. You create pressure. You build something invisible — until suddenly, it's everywhere.

One stone at a time.

The Board Is Never Just a Board

You might see a grid.

But Koro? He sees the flow of the game.

Each stone you place affects everything else on the board. It's weird how one move can change the entire game. Stones connect, surround, breathe, and sometimes disappear.

When you capture pieces, it's not like you're attacking them — it's more like the natural result of how things played out.

You don't really ‘take’ territory in this game. It's more like you gradually realize which areas belong to who.

Each stone you place, I'm tracking how it ripples out and affects everything. It's not instant — more like when you're not really paying attention to something and then suddenly go ‘wait, when did that happen?’

The rules? Pretty straightforward.
But man, this game goes deep.

The controls are super simple — just tap where you want to place your stone and see what happens.

  1. Place stones on intersections of the board
  2. Surround opponent stones to capture them
  3. Build territory by controlling space
  4. Follow the Ko rule to avoid repeating positions
  5. Finish the game when both players pass

You can start small, with a 9×9 board — quick, sharp decisions.
Or step into a full 19×19 match, where every move echoes longer than expected.

Single Player

Play against an AI that adapts to your level. Start gently, or challenge yourself with stronger opponents.

Local Multiplayer

Two players. One device. One shared silence. It's pretty weird actually — you're both just sitting there placing stones, but it feels like you're having this whole silent conversation.

Before You Place the Next Stone

  • Yeah, definitely! Start with the smaller boards and easier AI — you can work your way up from there.

  • Yes. Local multiplayer allows two players to share the board.

  • Yes. The game includes real Go mechanics: captures, territory scoring, and Ko rule.

  • Your match is saved automatically. You can return anytime.

  • Not really — it's more about thinking things through. Every move counts, so no need to rush.

Koro Is Already on the Board

You don't need to rush.

No need to rush this. The board's not going anywhere, and honestly? The best moves usually come when you're not trying to force them. And when you place your stone, something small starts to grow — maybe a pattern, or a path, or just a quiet win.

Koro will be there. Watching. Remembering.
