Consider yourself a militaristic genius? Ready to set out for blood to gain territory and crush your opponent? Not so fast. GO, an ancient game of Chinese origin, rewards patience and concentration rather than greed and aggression. The shifting balance of territory and power can unnerve even the most disciplined and intellectual player. Like martial arts, GO is an exercise in concentration, balance, and discipline. This GO set is a great starter set, including a beautiful wood board and stones. GO can be learned in minutes, but can take a lifetime to master.
