Greenville Go Club (Board Game)
Jul 13 all-day
Simpsonville Library | Hendricks Branch

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! (Greenville Go Club)

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 2500 years ago and is one of the oldest board games played today.
