(We deleted Amazon affiliate links from here, thanks for understanding.) Go is over 4000 years old, and is widely recognised as the oldest board game in existence. It is a game of surrounding and territorial advantage; the board represents the uninhabited world bound on all sides by the seashore. The rules are simple, yet play is complex, subtle and intuitive. Beyond being merely a game, go can take on other meanings to enthusiasts: an analogy with life, an intense meditation, a mirror of one's personality, an exercise in abstract reasoning, or, when played well, a beautiful art in which Black and White dance across the board in delicate balance. But most important for all who play, go is challenging and fun.
