Go
Master the ancient strategy game of Go! Place stones to capture territory and outmaneuver your opponent on the board.
About Go
Go (also known as Weiqi or Baduk) is one of the oldest board games in the world, originating in China over 4,000 years ago. Two players alternate placing black and white stones to control territory on the board.
How to Play
Click intersections to place stones. Surround your opponent's stones to capture them. The game ends when both players pass. The player controlling the most territory wins! Komi (6.5 points) is given to White to offset Black's first-move advantage.
Tips & Strategies
- Start on the 9×9 board to learn the basics before trying larger boards.
- Corners are easiest to claim territory, then sides, then center.
- Keep your groups connected — isolated stones are vulnerable.
- Don't try to save every stone — sometimes sacrifice is strategic.
- Create 'two eyes' in your groups to make them permanently alive.
