@ZachWeinersmith When you teach the game of Go to mathy types, they inevitably come up with variations. What if we played on a hex grid instead of a square grid? What if the board was a torus that wrapped around? What if the board was 3D?

At the annual US Go Congress, one of the standard events is "crazy go", which tries out some of these variants.

The most bananapants was Team Kriegspiel Go, involving two teams of two players, plus a referee. On your turn, you submit your move to the referee and find out if it's legal. Not only do you not know your opponent's moves, you don't know half of your own moves!

So, there's a trend on the #7books tooters are reading, or love, or both, so, here's my list on latest/current readings for the sake of sharing:
1. @adapalmer 's *Too Like the Lightning*
2. @ArkadyMartine 's *A Memory Called Empire*
3. Cixin Liu's *The Three Body Problem*
4. Jippensha Ikku's *Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige*
5. Giorgio Agamben's *Che cos'è un #dispositivo?*
6. Suso de Toro's *Polaroid*
7. Guy Debord's *#Kriegspiel, ou Le Jeu de la Guerre*
Obviously, although each of them is a delight, I'm using all of them for/in my projects. But the 6th: that's for my personal non-scholarly obsessions…

Hey @robert #somme valley. Red and blue fighting over four square miles.
