Greenville Go Club
Sep 16 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Hughes Main Library
The group has been restarted! Saturdays from 2-5pm at the Hughes Main Library in Greenville (Meeting room B).
We are a group of gamers who play the strategy board game known as go (or baduk). We have plenty of equipment and the group is free. We are very happy to teach new players and do teaching games and group game reviews as well.
If you are interested, please join our Facebook group!
Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. It has very simple rules and is easy to learn, but challenging to master! The game originated in ancient China more than 2,500 years ago, and is one of the oldest board games played today.

Empire Games

Go is also called “Baduk” or “Weiqi.” It’s a game with over 2,000 years of history. It’s a game that rewards creativity, intuition, and deep thinking. It is easy to learn (https://www.learn-go.net/), but difficult to master, offering a lifetime of intellectual stimulation and personal growth. Playing Go can help improve your focus, memory, and problem-solving skills, as well as your ability to anticipate and plan ahead.

Go is popular among anyone who likes strategy, mathematical concepts, game theory, or competition. Beginners are welcome! We meet up in two locations:

Greenville Go Club: Saturdays from 2 to 5 pm @ Hughes Main Library
Anderson Go Club: Mondays from 6 to 9 pm @ Empire Games
