Go
    Keywords: Culture & History

Go (碁) or Igo (囲碁, pronounced いご with a short "I") is an ancient Oriental board game where each player tries to exert more influence on territory than her opponent, using threats of death, capture, or isolation. It is, therefore, a symbolic representation of the relationships between nations.

The standard Go board has 19 lines by 19 lines, with 361 intersections. The best part about Go is that players are free to play almost anywhere on the board. :-)
