    Looking around for more strategy games in a similar vein to Chess, I saw this game mentioned.

    Appears to be quite interesting and it might make a good addition to the Chess and Sudoku games on this forum.

    Anyone played 'GO'?

    C.J I have heard of this game and played similar games before. I think it is similar to Othello isn't it?

    There was something of a fad with Go when I was younger, I remember my brother playing it all the time with his friends for a while. I'm afraid I never learned it myself, but I know they enjoyed it. I do play Othello with my kids now and then, which is another variation that may be easier.

    I've not got around to playing 'GO' yet, too busy playing 'MAHJONG'!

    Quite an addictive game, as well as easy to play :)
