Save this as conwaystones.table.
(There are only two colors, and besides, I like my default option of red and yellow.)
EDIT: Made a minor change to the rule, to allow for S1 of the "stones".

EDIT 3: Made ANOTHER change that definitely makes it easier to delete "stones".
EDIT 4: Same as Edit 3.
EDIT 5: Reverted Edit 4.
