Monster Go

Why We Picked Monster Go

Monster Go has no timer and no lives, so the only pressure is the space you have already spent. Legible at every size, which is rarer on this shelf than it should be. Puzzles on this shelf tend to be solved in the head first and on the board second. We kept it because a lost board teaches you something you can use on the next one. The page's own numbers: 157 plays, 5.0 out of 5 from 2 ratings, and 91 of 99 on the junior shelf.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Opening the game in a new tab rarely helps; the frame is the game, not a wrapper.
• The board arrives solvable and leaves solved, and the middle part is your own planning.
• Restart early. A board twenty moves in is cheaper to abandon than to rescue.

Editor’s Note

It runs in the tab you already have open, on desktop or phone, and asks for nothing else. It has no meta-layer, no currency and no reason to return except the board you did not finish.
