Nego

In this cat-themed variant on Go, players attempt to capture territory with cat-shaped pieces that take up 1, 2, 3 or 4 grid squares. Each cat also faces a certain direction, and may not be placed making eye contact with another cat (they would fight) or looking directly off the edge of the board (cats like to know what's going on). They also may never look at the 2x2 boss cat (the boss cat would not stand for it).

Players may capture territory by surrounding it, as long as they do not link opposite sides. When neither player can play, the player who has occupied and surrounded the most space wins.
