I love Go. I played it a few years ago with a friend and I loved the simplicity of it. Maneuver and counter-maneuver; mind games--its great fun.
I also got into it bc I'm a bit of a weeb. That and Japanese chess/shogi. Although I've sadly never had a chance to play the latter with a real person.
My weeb status is what got me into the game in the first place, via Hikaru no Go. Plus I just love board games and strategy games, even though I suck at them, I still enjoy them. I've never played Shogi but I would like to try it.

I have never played it. It looks interesting and exciting!
It is! There are a lot of situations that can happen and one move can be the difference between life and death. Once in a lifetime moves that turn a game around are called divine moves. I really like all the terminology that surrounds this game.

maybe not in the first club you try but in one of them. (Ok, meetings in person are rare these days in the world, but it will change again)
