Go Club
Come learn to play the ancient and mysterious board game Go-- as seen in Hikaru no Go manga in Shonen Jump!
Go Club meets Sundays from 2:00-5:30pm in the Boulder Creek Meeting Room, Main Library.
Players: Check your ratings here. Updated weekly!
Go was developed 4,000 years ago in China and is played today by millions in Japan, China and Korea. The rules are so simple they can be taught in a few minutes, but it can take a lifetime to master the game. Skilled play requires mathematical analysis, tactical insight, intuition, and a sense of poetry. Like the Eastern martial arts, Go teaches concentration, balance, and discipline. Go boards are provided at the club, and take home sets made of paper are available for free to anyone who wants them. Come experience the magic of Go, while making new friends.
