Go, a fascinating strategy game for two players
Thanks to the few rules, Go is very easy to understand, but has an infinite number of variations during the course of the game. The aim of the game is to conquer as large an area of the board as possible and to capture your opponent's pieces. Each player receives pieces of one colour and must place them on the intersections of the board during the course of the game. The winner is the player who has conquered the most areas and opposing pieces.
Traditionally, Go is played with 181 black and 180 white pieces. Black has one stone more, as black makes the first move. The game is played on a square board with 19 vertical and 19 horizontal lines. This results in 361 intersections, all of which can be covered with the 361 pieces.
It is important to know that you can play a complete game with far fewer pieces. This is why a game often only comes with around 160 black and white tiles. So you don't have to worry if there are a few pieces less.
Smaller game boards are often used for training games and quick games. These have, for example, 9 x 9 to 15 x 15 lines.
