Go originated in China more than 4000
years ago. But it was the Japanese who perfected it and made Go a great
strategic skill game. For thousands of years everyone from the working classes
to royalty played Go, making it the national pastime. The popularity of Go has
now reached the West bringing with it an air of Oriental wisdom and mystery!
The Object of Go is to gain control of territories and capture enemy stones.
Go is probably one of the world's most intimidating games, one
which conjures up images of players gleefully setting out for blood as they
devise militaristic board moves. This complex exercise in strategy originated
some 4,000 years ago in the East and has no direct Western counterpart. The
game's playing surface is divided into 361 intersections. Players place stones
on the corners of the squares, and the object is to surround the stones of
their opponents. This edition's wooden game board is heavy, durable, and has
an elegant blond veneer. The plastic stones are less impressive. The set comes
with a first-rate rule book: filled with diagrams, examples, and a useful
recap section midway through the instructions, it'll make any novice good to
Go. --Tony Mason Go is probably one of the world's most
