Gro, or the Battle for the Petri Dish Objective: Gain exclusive control of 3 out of 4 corners (corner spaces are denoted by the dots). 1st move: place a germ in the dish. On subsequent moves, either: (a) move a piece to any adjacent space (b) divide to an adjacent space, or (c) grow. Note that all pieces require at least one liberty or they die. In addition, a small piece requires two liberties to grow into a medium piece. A medium piece requires two liberties to divide or move, and three liberties to grow into a large piece. And a large piece requires 3 liberties to divide or move. A liberty is an orthogonally adjacent empty space. Pieces cannot commit suicide, but they may make a move which is only legal after any captures have been dealt with.
