A post last week asked about interest in a Go/Baduk/Weiqi meetup and got a lot of positive responses. The most commonly preferred meeting time was Wednesday evenings, but since next Wednesday might be rainy, the first meeting will be Tuesday, May 5th. I’ll hold a poll via instagram to settle on a regular time.
Baduk (also known as go or weiqi) is the oldest continually played board game in the world. It is at least 2,500 years old.
The rules are so simple they can be taught in 5 minutes. Those simple rules give rise to a game of extraordinary depth and beauty.
Come learn, play, and socialize with other Richmonders!
Equipment will be provided, but if you have equipment (particularly 9x9s for new players) please bring them!
