Go is a board game for two people, noted for its strategic complexity. It originated several thousand years ago in China. Today, it is popular in Korea, China, and Japan. The game is called 'Baduk' in Korea, 'WeiQi' in China, and 'Igo' in Japan.
In Europe and in the US, Go is still a fringe phenomenon, but fans are getting more, at least among Manga lovers:
