Go (also Baduk, Igo, Wei ch’i or Weiqi): This is an ancient board game from the Far East and was used to teach the values of patience, balance, concentration and even manners to the players. The game is played by placing black and white stones onto a board of 19 by 19 lines. The object of the game is to surround territory, which makes alternating white and black patterns on the carved wooden board. Traditionally the stones themselves are made from slate and clamshell.
