Go - Game Club
When: Sunday September 7th, 2008 - 12:00 PM
Where: Highlands Ranch at Shea B
Go is a game that originated in China about 4,000 years ago. It is said to be more challenging than chess or bridge—yet, people of all ages can learn the basics in 30 minutes. It is played by two players alternately placing black and white stones on the vacant intersections of a grid board. The object of the game is to control a larger part of the board than the opponent. If you want to play or learn, an instructor is available to help you.
