Go Kids: Weiqi & Capture
Learn Go — capture & win!
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: cat-vs-shiba animal stones, Coach Mochi live on the board (confetti when you capture, a pat when caught), daily quests and a shape codex. Offline, no ads.
The game of Go (Weiqi / Baduk), made for kids! Coach Mochi the orange cat helps out:
green marks good moves, red warns "about to be captured" — so children see every move.
Start with Capture Go, the funnest way in: capture a stone and you win, easy from game one.
‧ Coach Mochi is right on the board: confetti when you capture, a gentle pat when you're caught,
and a nervous sweat when your stones are in danger. Zero frustration, all encouragement.
‧ Hints you can read: green = good / capture, red = in danger, blue = connect your stones,
blue star = best move (with icons and text, not color alone).
‧ See the liberties: tap a stone and little breath clouds appear on every liberty; a stone with
one breath left trembles; breath bars beside the board show who is in trouble.
‧ Three modes: Beginner guidance (Capture Go), Improve (territory and scoring), and
Real Match (an on-device KataGo neural-net opponent).
‧ A different computer every game: random openings, and an attacking or defending style
you can choose — practice defense and offense.
‧ Puzzle quest: 20 capture puzzles in five kinds — atari, capture, escape, ladder, making eyes —
unlocked level by level.
‧ Daily quest: built from your child's most common mistake — miss captures often, and
today's quest is capturing; forget to rescue, and today it's rescuing.
‧ Shape codex: play a tiger's mouth, bamboo joint or ponnuki and it joins the collection;
an empty triangle gets a friendly nudge.
‧ Something to keep even when you lose: the result screen lists the game's achievements —
stones captured, moves survived, a closer margin, the best move.
‧ Cat-vs-shiba animal stones (switch back to classic any time), bouncing stones,
captured stones float away as bubbles, confetti when you win.
‧ Bilingual: Traditional Chinese + English, in both text and voice; voice can be fully turned off.
‧ Thoughtful: respects the silent switch, supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type, motion can be reduced.
For parents:
‧ The parent zone sits behind a parental gate (a 3-digit multiplication question young children cannot answer).
‧ Daily play-time limit, allowed hours, lock now / temporary unlock.
‧ Play reports and weak-point analysis (self-atari, missed captures, unrescued stones), exportable as CSV.
‧ Import your own line (SGF) as a coach opponent.
Completely free. 100% offline, no ads, no data collected.
The parent zone has an optional "buy the developer a coffee" tip jar; it unlocks nothing and
children cannot reach it. Plays on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Ages 4+.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Two fixes:
‧ Puzzle Quest: tapping a level did nothing and going back showed a blank screen — fixed
‧ Kata teacher review: no more empty-board puzzles from the very first move; after two misses the coach's star lights up to help your child find the answer
