Yoin is a drawless game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the spaces (cells) of an initially empty hexagonal grid of hexagons (board).
A group is a stone along with all stones one can reach from it through a series of steps onto adjacent stones of its color.
Black plays first, then turns alternate. On your turn, place a stone of your color on an empty cell. When the board is full, the winner is determined as follows:
1️⃣ Let n equal 0.
2️⃣ The player with fewer groups bigger than n stones wins.
3️⃣ If no winner is found, increase n by 1 and go back to 2️⃣.
To make the game fair, White will have the option, on their first turn only, to swap sides with Black instead of making a regular move.
