## GAMEPLAY
The players Black and White take turns. Each turn a player chooses to either
place a stone on any free point of the board or to change the color of any
trapped stone. A stone is trapped if two or three stones of different color
lie next to it. The game ends when there is no free point left and whoever has
the most stones on the board wins.

player mode but excludes some of the features above.
