Laura got me a Go set for Christmas, so last night I spent some time reading about it. I've played before, but I had forgotten most of the rules. It's so great! The game has such an eastern vibe: not only is it a game of strategy, but it is also considered a form of communication and artwork. Literally, Go translates to "hand talking". The board is specifically not symmetrical, and you aren't supposed to straighten the pieces to maintain an organic feel. I played three games yesterday, two of which I lost. (To people who had never played before, no less!) Even losing is a lot of fun, however. Off to play some Moonbase. ^_^
