Spora takes the concepts like group, liberty and territory, known from territorial games like Go, and adds support for stacks. Stacks can sow their pieces to adjacent intersections, capturing enemy pieces or supporting near friendly structures. The total number of pieces is limited, so players need to manage their finite budget to reach endgame controlling as much territory as possible.
Spora is the Greek σπορά, meaning 'sowing'.
