Have you ever been to a sushi restaurant? You sit at a bar of sorts, with a conveyor belt beyond you, at arm’s reach. Chefs create sushi, traditional Japanese rice-based dishes with seafood and vegetables. Once prepared, they place them on the conveyor belt and it passes along in front of the customers. See something you like? Grab it off the conveyor belt! You eat what you like, and pay for empty plates in front of you at the end of your meal.The name Go, that we use in the West, is actually Japanese (they also sometimes call it Igo); in Korea it is called Baduk and in China it is called Weiqi (pronounced "Wei-Chi"). With a magnetic set or computer/tablet you can play whilst travelling or on a day out; indeed a game was once played on the space shuttle. For a more formal game there are many tournaments and matches you can join in at locations all around the country. Clubs

Go is a game for two players with just a few simple rules that is fun for all ages. You start with an empty board and then place pieces alternately, vying to map out more territory. However, if you overstretch, your pieces can be captured and taken off the board. Go is one of the world's great strategy board games and originated over 3,000 years ago in China. It is part of popular culture today in Japan, China and Korea, and known as Igo, Weiqi or Baduk respectively in these countries. It was brought to the UK from Japan over 100 years ago and Go continues today to expand in popularity. You can read much about the history of Go in the UK too. There’s another thing to consider as you learn how to play Sushi Go! Everyone’s cards sit face-up. They’re all public knowledge for the entire table to view. Can you detect what sort of card(s) your neighbour’s collecting? Do any of those cards sit within your hand right now? Remember, you’re going to pass them this hand of cards in a minute – minus one card, the one you’re keeping. Are you gifting them easy points? Should you draft that card, instead? Some call this ‘hate-drafting’. It might sound ‘mean’, but it’s a genuine strategy! To my tastes (pun sort-of intended), Sushi Go! works best with more players. It can work at a two-player count, but Phil Walker-Harding included a variant playing it as a twosome. It features a third ‘dummy’ player. Instead of dealing out 10 cards each during set-up, deal three hands of nine cards. (As if you were dealing for a three-player game.) Place the third hand face-down between you and your opponent.

There are also approximately 30 tournaments every year in the UK, with similar numbers in other major European countries and the USA; many more in Japan, China and Korea. Nearly all of these are suitable for relatively novice players to enter and some of them specifically cater for beginners. Most of these tournaments are one or two day events at the weekend, typically with 3 rounds per day. Some of these also have specific teaching sessions, but anyway there will be people who will happily review your game for you after each round. We introduce Go to young people and others and assist with the development of clubs, with workshops and seminars around the country. You can play Go informally at home or with friends, but being part of a club means you will probably have a chance to play more different opponents. There are many clubs around the British Isles, with most big cities having a club; some cities have more than one club. Have a look at the club map.
