What is Atari Go
In Go, players alternately place stones on empty intersections of a 19x19 grid. The goal is to enclose territory behind stone perimeters and, secondarily, to tightly surround and capture enemy stones. After both players pass, they add up their territory and deduct the number of captives lost, higher score wins.
The concept is simple yet the challenge can enrich a lifetime. In truth many lifetimes, for Go has been played for thousands of years. Known also as Weiqi, Igo, and Baduk, this worldwide game has regional rule differences but those differences seldom affect play.
So welcome to this masterpiece that is the game of Go, the race for geographical control of an unclaimed land. Experience running battles and swift reversals, bold invasions and painful sacrifices, each sally, each setback playing out to the gentle tap of stone on wood.

What the community says about Atari Go
[b]Nota[/b] de octubre de 2007 Juego abstracto a la altura del ajedrez (¿o lo supera? :) ). Esta es una cuestión kafkiana de difícil deserción que conlleva conotaciones filosóficas.

He perdido la cuenta de las partidas que he echado... ¡Juegazo!
Players: 2.
Es un juego popular en Asia, pero no me termina de convencer, sí le doy una oportunidad. Pero con reservas.
