 Slate and Shell, Publisher of Books on the Game of Go (Baduk, Weiqi, Goe)
GO is an ancient Asian strategy game that is popular in Japan, China, and Korea with enthusiasts throughout the world.  The Japanese call it Go or Igo; The Koreans call it Baduk or Paduk; and the Chinese call it Weiqi or Wei Qi.
Go's few rules can be demonstrated quickly and grasped easily. It is enjoyably played over a wide range of skills. Each level of play has its charms, rewards, and discoveries. A unique and reliable handicapping system leads to equal contests between players of widely disparate strengths. Go is uniquely flexible and rewards patience and balance over aggression and greed.
Go thinking seems to be more lateral than linear, less dependent on logical deduction, and more reliant on a "feel" for the game, a "sense" of form, a gestalt of significant patterns.

Whereas Chess was a game played by Renaissance Kings, Homeworlds is a game for Starship Captains.

But we've played everywhere from the Grassy Knoll to the Coffeeshops of Amsterdam to the Icehouse Lounge in Las Vegas, and I'm still eager to play again whenever we get together.
