Gigantic Game of Go May 28, 2006

Celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage Month by learning to play the ancient game of Go on a gigantic 9x9-line grid. Go is the board game that the long-ago Chinese poets praised, that shogun and geisha played non-stop, and that is now featured in your favorite manga and anime. Japanese call it Igo; Koreans call it Baduk; and it is named Wei'qi in China, where it was created about 3,000 years ago. The San Francisco Go Club will share the game's simple rules and complex strategies in a free demo in front of Zeum, and we'll send you home with the Go goods so you can go Go at home!
