I've recently stumbled upon the game Go (as supplied with CygWin) and I'm finding it both infuriating and addictive, despite how bad I am at it.
So far, in around 100 games, I haven't even come close to winning!

Has anybody here actually managed to master Go without going mad first? :cry:

Go is a Japanese game often confused with Othello/Reversi. It is pretty fun. I stink at it though and haven't played in ages. :?

I have a friend who is rather addicted to the game, but I never really got the hang of it.

I'm not much on the Go with the tiles on the board (they're black and white, yeah?) but boy would I love to take a few people on in the Go where you and a partner build questions a word at a time for another teammate to answer. VERY short-lived game show from the '80s that I think should be just as popular as the board game.
