go, gå
an ancient two-player strategy board game that originated in China over 2,500 years ago
What is "Go"?
Go is a two-player strategy board game that originated in ancient China and is played on a square grid, usually 19x19, although smaller boards like 9x9 or 13x13 can also be used. Players take turns placing black or white stones on the intersections of the grid. The objective is to claim more territory than the opponent by surrounding empty areas of the board and capturing the opponent's stones by completely enclosing them. The game ends when both players agree that no more moves can improve their positions, and the player with the most territory, including captured stones, wins. Go is known for its simple rules but deep strategic complexity.
