Rengo
A team form of Go in which two players on each side alternate moves for their team.
Also known as
Rengo, also known as Pair Go, is a form of Go played by two-player teams. The teammates on each side take turns placing stones for their team, following a fixed rotation throughout the game. Each move is made by one teammate, so the board position reflects the decisions of both players rather than a single individual.
Unlike ordinary Go, each side is controlled by two alternating players. This makes Rengo a social, team-based form of play that emphasizes coordination and is often used in competitions and teaching settings. Teammates generally cannot communicate during the game, although the exact restrictions may vary. Event rules can also differ regarding communication, move order, and timing, so players should check the rules of the particular Rengo event.
