• Learn to play the ancient and mysterious board game known as Go!
• All ages are welcome.
• Meets at Mission Viejo Library Community Room most Saturdays from 2-4 pm.

The rules are so simple they can be taught in a few minutes--but it can take a lifetime to master the game. Go was developed 4,000 years ago in China and is played today by millions in Japan, China and Korea. Thanks to the massive popularity Hikaru no Go manga in Shonen Jump, U.S. kids are flocking to learn this timeless game. Skilled play requires mathematical analysis, tactical insight, intuition, and a sense of poetry.

Like the Eastern martial arts, Go teaches concentration, balance and discipline. Respect for one's opponent and mutual appreciation of each others' ideas is a fundamental part of the game. Go is said to be about five times more complex than chess. The best computers can now beat top human players at chess, yet the strongest Go software is weaker than even the average player.

Go boards are provided at the club. Take-home sets made of paper are available free to anyone who wants them. Come experience the magic and beauty of Go, while making new friends.*
