GO

Go is one of the oldest board games in the world, played for over 2,500 years. Two players take turns placing black and white stones on the intersections of a grid, aiming to surround more territory than their opponent.

How to play:

• Black plays first, then players alternate turns.
• Place stones on empty intersections of the board.
• A stone or group is captured when it has no empty adjacent intersections (liberties) left.
• You cannot play a move that would leave your own group without liberties, unless it captures.
• >span class="">ko rule prevents repeating the same board position endlessly.
• Pass your turn anytime. Two consecutive passes end the game.

Winning: Count your territory (empty intersections surrounded by your stones) plus captured stones. The player with the higher score wins.

Features:

• Standard 19×19 board (plus 9×9 and 13×13 for quick games)
• Local or online multiplayer
• Simple, clean interface
• Rules enforcement (captures, ko, suicide)
• Score estimation at the end of the game

Tips for beginners: Start on a 9×9 board, focus on corners first, then sides, then the center. Don't chase your opponent everywhere — build solid groups and claim territory.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned player, Go offers endless depth with just a few simple rules.
