Go

Go is a chinese game about 4.000 years old. It is a board game, two players (there are variations though...), which demands both strong mid/long-term strategy and short-term local fights. The goal is to make territory in the board. Players place stones in the board, one at a time. Stones can be captured. Players can pass; when both players pass, the game ends; each player points are calculated, taking into account the territory and the captured stones.
