mbassoc2003 wrote in Greatest tabletop game EVER:Go is an incredibly complex stratagy game, based around a very simple rule set, predating chess and mahjong in chinese culture. Incredibly easy to learn. Incredibly difficult to master. Just like chess in that respect. Little played outside of China with very little in the way of good quality strategy guides on the subject. Try it. I'd recommend it to anyone who has played chess in their past.

I'm going to second Go as one of my favorite tabletop games. I learned to play from a Korean Master in Seoul.

Have a custom built board that I use to teach with, and I'll photograph it,  and upload an image of that tomorrow. Board is currently at the club, Thought I had photographed it earlier, but can't find the pix right now...

My neighbor's renter turned me onto Go a few years ago. Really amazing game, it's a shame it's not more well known outside of Asia.
