Go Game - Fantastic Board Game of Strategy

Product Information

Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend. At the British Go Association we are passionate about the game of Go, and we hope you will find the game just as appealing as we do. There are also approximately 30 tournaments every year in the UK, with similar numbers in other major European countries and the USA; many more in Japan, China and Korea. Nearly all of these are suitable for relatively novice players to enter and some of them specifically cater for beginners. Most of these tournaments are one or two day events at the weekend, typically with 3 rounds per day. Some of these also have specific teaching sessions, but anyway there will be people who will happily review your game for you after each round. Sushi Go! takes the essence of a sushi conveyor belt system, and implements it into a card game. You’re looking to grab different types of sushi in a set-collection manner. You do this by drafting cards. Sushi Go! (yes, it has an exclamation mark) is a stellar design from Gamewright Games and Phil Walker-Harding. He’s the brains behind a smörgåsbord of other family-weight games. Imhotep, Cacao, Gingerbread House, Bärenpark (and Sushi Roll, of course) are all phenomenal titles. Want a game that’s simple to teach yet has a pleasing amount of strategy? Then look no further than Sushi Go! or any Phil Walker-Harding game. Let’s learn how to play Sushi Go! Grab It Before It Goes… To my tastes (pun sort-of intended), Sushi Go! works best with more players. It can work at a two-player count, but Phil Walker-Harding included a variant playing it as a twosome. It features a third ‘dummy’ player. Instead of dealing out 10 cards each during set-up, deal three hands of nine cards. (As if you were dealing for a three-player game.) Place the third hand face-down between you and your opponent.

We also know a number of well-known people who have played Go, as diverse as Albert Einstein and Rod Stewart! You may have seen Go played in the movies, in such as "A Beautiful Mind" or "Pi", or in television programmes such as "24" or "Enterprise", or read about it in novels such as "Shibumi" or "The Girl that played Go". More and more, Go is entering Western culture as well as Oriental. Go has very simple rules and concepts, but a complex strategy. You start with an empty board, alternately placing pieces which don't move (called stones) on it, trying to surround empty areas, whilst capturing your opponent's stones by surrounding them and taking them off the board. However, as with a lot of simple concepts, it can take a little while to grasp them and a long time to master them. Go originated over 3,000 years ago in China and is very much a part of Oriental culture. You can read about its world history.

Many young people play. Visit our Junior section and if you're an organiser or teacher our Youth Go organisers section to find out how we can help you. Capture Go is a simple version of Go, teaching key concepts, so is useful if you haven't played at all Have you ever been to a sushi restaurant? You sit at a bar of sorts, with a conveyor belt beyond you, at arm’s reach. Chefs create sushi, traditional Japanese rice-based dishes with seafood and vegetables. Once prepared, they place them on the conveyor belt and it passes along in front of the customers. See something you like? Grab it off the conveyor belt! You eat what you like, and pay for empty plates in front of you at the end of your meal. We introduce Go to young people and others and assist with the development of clubs, with workshops and seminars around the country.
