Here are some images of my first published game PO-GO!

Here is where you can get your very own copy of PO-GO !!

New Game: Phobos

Materials

25 square tiles that are dark on one side and light on the other
4 Othello disks, two of the disks are marked on their dark and light sides with a red dot at their centers.

Setup

Arrange the 25 tiles, light side up, into a 5x5 grid. Next place the two disks with the red dots light side up on two diagonally opposed corner tiles, do the same for the remaining two disks.

Play

One player plays with the two disks that have the red dots and the other player the two without.

Decide who goes first in any convenient manner, turns then alternate.

On a turn, you must,

1) Move one of your disks one space either diagonally or orthogonally onto an empty tile and then

2) Flip an empty light sided tile that is orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to the disk last moved or remove an empty dark sided tile that is orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to the disk last moved.

Restrictions

• A light sided disk moves on empty light sided tiles and after a move you must flip an adjacent light sided tile to its dark side.
• A light sided disk may be moved to a dark sided tile by flipping the disk to its dark side and after the move you must remove an adjacent dark sided tile from the board. From this point on the disk is a dark sided disk and cannot be flipped back.
• A dark-sided disk moves only on empty dark sided tiles and after the move you must remove an adjacent dark sided tile from the board.

Object

The player last to move wins.

New Game: Themisto

3D render of Themisto

Starting Setup

A win for player two

In Themisto, the object is to move and flip or move, flip and capture pieces to get a five in a row in either color.

Materials
8x8 checkerboard
28 Reversi (Othello) disks

Setup
The 28 disks are placed on the border spaces of the board in an alternating pattern of black and white.

Play
Decide who goes first in any convenient manner, turns then alternate.

On a turn, you must either,

1. Move a piece (black or white) any distance in a straight line, orthogonally or diagonally, without jumping over other pieces, then flipping the moved piece over and ending the move in an empty space that is adjacent (orthogonally or diagonally) to at least one other piece on the board or
2. Move a piece (following the movement rule above) from a row (orthogonal or diagonal) consisting of three or four like-colored pieces, but in doing so, you lose your next turn or
3. After moving a piece, on the same turn, you may perform a custodian Capture by having the moved piece, and another like colored piece on either side of at least one straight (orthogonal or diagonal) occupied line of opposed colored pieces (1-3 pieces if you are player one or 1 or more if player two). The trapped piece(s) are then flipped over.

Restrictions

A player may not repeat the board position of the previous turn.
Object
The game ends, and a win is made, when player one makes a five in a row (orthogonally or diagonally) in either color or player two a row of five or more.

Here is an example of CC in Themisto, captured pieces are flipped over, not removed from the board.

Player 1 moves a white piece down from the upper right, flipping the piece over to the black side.

Player 2 noticing Player 1 blunder moves the bottom center white piece also flipping his piece, sandwiching the center white pieces.

The center white pieces are all flipped making player 2 the winner with a five in a row.
