- Cham-gonu’s 24-point board has a placement phase followed by adjacent-piece movement; captures lock used points during placement.
Field notes
Cham-gonu’s rules distinguish two phases: placing pieces to make mills, then sliding pieces to adjacent empty points once the board is full. The page also gives beginners a route through smaller variants, including Jul-gonu with four pieces and Palpal-gonu with eight pieces per side on an 8×8 board. For deciding who moves first, it describes a traditional rock-paper-scissors method and says the loser moves first.
