A new, original AI, trained for this one game and running entirely on your iPhone. One rule: first capture wins. Five levels, no sign-up, works offline.
Go is four thousand years old and takes an afternoon to explain. Capture GO teaches it in about a minute.
You play the capture game — Atari Go — the variant Go teachers have used for generations to start beginners. The rules fit on one line: surround a stone, lift it off the board, you win. Everything that makes Go beautiful is already here. Nothing that makes it intimidating is.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• An opponent that runs on your iPhone. Five levels, and they genuinely differ — level one plays like a real beginner, level five will punish a loose stone. No account, no connection, and no move ever leaves your device.
• A tutorial that explains itself. It defines every word before it uses one, and you can step back whenever you like.
• Shapes worth collecting. The tiger's mouth, the bamboo joint, the ladder — find the patterns Go players have been naming for centuries and fill an album with them.
• Proverbs. Short, old, and more useful than they look.
• Every game, replayable. Walk back through your own moves and see where it turned.
• Nigiri — the traditional way of deciding who takes black — played out on the board.
• Play to one capture, or three, or five. Longer goals turn a quick game into a real one.
• A daily streak, if you want one. Play a game a day and it keeps count.
FOR EXPERIENCED PLAYERS
Already play Go? Capture GO is a fast 9x9 capture race against an AI that reads ahead — a sharp tactical fight that fits between two subway stops.
MADE TO BE USABLE
Every control is labelled for VoiceOver, the whole app scales with Dynamic Type, and Reduce Motion is respected. Available in 20 languages.
FREE TO PLAY
Capture GO is free. There is no pay-to-win — optional boosts and cosmetic items live in the shop, and the entire game is playable without them.

I am mostly a beginner to the Game of Go but I love the way this app teaches you. Very easily and quickly it shows you the rules then you play some games to figure it out. It’s fun and easy to try different strategies and learn effectively. Starting a new game is very quick and that keeps me playing (and learning lol) more. Great job to the Devs!! W app!
Fun beginner app

It would be amazing if there were a way to play with other people. Keep up the good work!
