Metaphorical Names for the Game of Go

   

A list of names for the game of go that are metaphorical in nature.

Wei Chi- though common, the name has a metaphorical aspect to it in that it means "the surrounding game".

Hand Talk- I mentioned this to a friend from Korea recently and took them by surprise. They were quite excited to hear this name for it which they hadn't heard or thought of in quite some time.

I know I have come across several others but can't remember them right off the bat.

Bob McGuigan: Check out the page shudan which seems to have what you want.
