Igo

Igo (or Go) is an ancient strategy board game originating from China, played by two players. The goal is to control more territory on the board than your opponent by placing black or white stones on a grid. Players take turns, aiming to surround and capture opponent stones while expanding their own territory. The game emphasizes strategic thinking, balance, and pattern recognition. Despite simple rules, Igo offers deep complexity and is admired for its subtlety and intellectual challenge, making it a favorite worldwide among enthusiasts of abstract strategy games.
