How do you play the japanese game go?

Question

like in hikaru no go.also, where is a good place to play it, like a go salon?

Answer 1

If you enjoyed Hikaru No Go without knowing how to play the game of Go, you will enjoy it even more once you have a basic understanding of the game and its terminology. Hikaru No Go is very accurate with its use of Go rules and terms. Also, every game shown in the manga is a realistic game, not simply the artist's rendering of a wooden board with a sprinkle of stones.

There are many great Go resources online. A good place to start would be Wikipedia. The Wikipedia entry has a good go primer, as well as an abundance of references linked at the end of the entry. It is also available in several languages, which may be helpful to you if English is not your first language.

Finding a place to play will depend on what is available locally. You can search for Go chapters near you on the American Go Association website.

You can also play online, as you saw in Hikaru No Go. Yahoo games is just one of many free, online go communities.

I hope this helps.
