There is a Loose entry on BoardGameGeek, including a PDF rule sheet available for download in the files section.

Also, there is a sample 9x9 Loose game in another topic.

Have a great game! :) (I would add "... and good luck", but I suspect I'll need to have luck on my side.) :oops:

For those following this, I'm the designer of Loose. If you have any questions (preferably about the game ;-) ), please don't hesitate to ask.

Note for those who are voting different names than Loose or Django in the poll: could you post your suggested names? The more to choose from, the better. :study:

I have the theory that good Go players are also good at Loose, but I may be wrong. Strategy is similar, but tactics are different enough as to require a different approach.
Anyway, I rather meant that for some reason claiming non-consecutive corners seems riskier to me, a bit like chess games with cross castlings, if you know what I mean. :geek:

The implications of the rules are pretty complicated. I suspect I may get a bit lost when a fight starts, but we'll see :)
