## What is Kanso Go?

One board. Two colours. Endless possibilities.

Kanso Go brings the classic strategy game to iPhone and iPad. Play the computer, share a board with another person or learn Go one step at a time. No ads. No subscription.

SIT FACE TO FACE
Place your iPad between you. Opposing player areas face each person, just like sitting at a real Go table.

YOUR OFFLINE OPPONENT
Kanso plays directly on your device. Choose your challenge without an internet connection or a game account.

LEARN ON THE BOARD
The interactive tutorial introduces the goal, liberties, captures and basic tactics through short, playable steps. Review the final position together and follow how the score is counted.

KANSO FOCUS — WITH PREMIUM
A gesture reveals promising next moves directly on the board. Tap a suggestion to understand it better. Focus is a learning aid: assisted games do not qualify for Highscores. Try Focus for free in the tutorial.

MAKE THE TABLE YOURS
Explore distinct board, stone and table materials, expressive capture animations and carefully matched stone sounds.

INCLUDED FREE
• 9×9 and 13×13 boards
• Two computer difficulty levels
• Two people on one device
• The complete tutorial
• One coordinated board, stone and table combination

PREMIUM — UNLOCK ONCE
• The 19×19 board
• Three additional computer difficulty levels
• Kanso Focus outside the tutorial
• All board, stone and table materials, including random selection

Premium is an optional one-time in-app purchase, not a subscription. Displayed difficulty levels are guides, not independently certified competitive ranks.

Available in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.
