Join the Evanston Go Club in Tabletop Gaming on Friday and Saturday to learn to play the world’s oldest and most challenging board game. Go has been played for thousands of years and was considered one of the “Four Accomplishments” in China, along with calligraphy, painting and music. It is played by hundreds of millions of people around the world and became popular in the U.S. through the anime Hikaru No Go.

Go is easy to learn, yet challenging to play well. The rules are the essence of simplicity, yet they result in endless possibilities. There are more possible Go games than there are subatomic particles in the known universe. Chess grandmaster Edward Lasker has said, “While the Baroque rules of chess could only have been created by humans, the rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play Go.”

We will be teaching and playing on Friday and Saturday from 11 AM until we drop! And we will have a tournament at 5 PM on Saturday, which is open to everyone. Come join us!
