Its large board and lack of restrictions allows great scope in strategy, as decisions in one part of the board are influenced by a seemingly unrelated situation in distant parts of the board, and moves made early in the game can shape the nature of conflict hundreds of moves later.
Other boardgames commonly compared with Go Go appears to stand apart among games in its rules and gameplay; it is difficult to find another boardgame which could be considered of the same "family" as Go.
The dimensions of the board (traditionally the grid is 45.45cm long and 42.42cm wide, with space beyond to allow stones to be played on the edges and corners of the grid) often surprise newcomers: it is not a perfect square, but is longer than it is wide, roughly in the proportion 12:11.

Another reason is that the Japanese aesthetic finds any structure which is perfectly symmetrical to be in bad taste, and the board isn't made a perfect square for this reason.
