Cacomo, the Go Card Game, Comes to iPhone

The Cacomo iPhone game is now available in the Apple app store, as of Feb 12th. Cacomo is a casual, go-like card game, where players try to capture each other's stones on a board, but unlike go, players can only play a stone on a spot if they have the card for that spot. Cacomo is perfect for relatives and friends who want to learn go but find its complexity intimidating, or for go players looking for a casual, portable go experience. The card game was invented by Hiroko Shinkai 5P of the Nihon Ki-in. It was made into an Apple app by Danielle Hyatt, a Seattle Go Center member. The two met at the Seattle Go Center Anniversary Party in September of 2012.
