I remember reading somewhere that Conway tried that...  In fact,
IIRC, that's how his game of "Life" -- probably the most well-known
embodiment of cellular automata -- came about in the first place!

Using CA for go was too hard, it seems, so he used a simpler rule
for the "living" and "dying" of stones, and came up with "Life".
