I've been playing some of this new boardgame called Hecks. It has similarities to Go, with capturing stones and making territory. Check the intro video here:
And come play on the server here:
https://hecks.spaceThere aren't many players online yet, hoping it catches on so I can have more opponents to play.
In the spoiler are a few examples of basic shapes in the game. If you want to discover some of these on your own don't open this.

Definitely developed by a go player... he caught himself calling the empty spaces liberties.
That looks like an interesting game; I might have to try it sometime!

In case you have access to a 3D printer you can now play this in real life.

I don't really think this is new, unless it has some rules which are not obvious. It seems to me like a simple variation of go which has been discussed many times.

I don't like it how you can live with 1 eye.

i actually kinda like that, makes for a minimalist game, don't have to worry about ko for example.
