It is a four thousand year old board game the longest existing game to be commonly played, it has a 19 by 19 line board with over 300 stones to place on the intersections, the goal of the game is to get the most amount of territory with the least amount of stones.

Dancing with Myself And how does one go about aquiring territory? you usually seall off the areas with your stones making it difficult for the enemy to intrude buy you can caputure stones by closing off the intersections around the stone, like a miniature cross and the middle stone of the cross is captured and removed to be counted against your opponent.

They are pretty much celebrieties.

Dragon Go I play here, as Daisy and Little Golem and here, as Daisy I've been playing Go for several years.. not really understanding the game.. im don 18 or less.. probably less. I like the little boards the 19 x 19 frustrates me.. but I'll play them.. I also love to play Chinese Chess. I play at Brain King as Daisy. Havent played in a while. I havent won to many, but i like it better than american chess.
