Hello, would you care for a game of go?

[zl]

old, elegant board game.

I'd be happy to teach anyone who's interested!

Sorry, I have no time to spare

I really wish I had a Go board, I heard about it through Hikaru No Go and when I got to play in my japanese class I loved it. This kid who tells people he trained in japan as a ninja/samurai for 2 years said he could destroy me, I beat him on my first time ever playing the game.

Go is a game of territorial conquest. You place your coloured pieces in squares around the board to capture territory away from your opponent until you can no longer do so. Try to use as few pieces as possible.

Did you know that attempts to capture your opponent are called "Atari"? No joke.

Oh, I know this game. It's hard for me though because it's weird getting a good sense if you're winning or not, since the amount of pieces per person can change so quickly.
