Presentation

Go is at Japan Expo Sud thanks to the Go French Federation.

This game, imported in 735 from China, has been played in Japan for 1200 years and recently reached the Western world. You can learn its simple rules within a few minutes and beginners can quickly play interesting parties.

The purpose of the game is just as easy: build the widest territory. Go is played on a squared board called Goban with counters called stones. Each one in his/her turn, the players play a stone on the Goban trying not to get surrounded by the opponent’s and to capture as many stones as possible.

There are currently about 11 millions players in Japan… Why not you?
