Way of Stones

A tribute to Ishido: The Way of Stones (1990)

The meditative stone-matching puzzle, remade for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. Six colors. Six symbols. Seventy-two stones. One quiet board.

A game in progress following the rules of Ishido: the opening tableau of six stones at the corners and centre, then stones added one at a time, each matching its neighbours by colour or symbol

If you played Ishido in 1990 on your Mac, Game Boy, Lynx, or Genesis, you already know why it deserves a second life. I'm building it — slowly, and properly: no ads, no timers, no energy meters. Just stones, patience, and the occasional four-way.

I'm building one platform at a time. You decide the order.

Which platform should come first?
