By all appearances, it’s just two players taking turns laying stones on a 19×19 (or smaller) grid of intersections. And finally: we're sure you will want to explore How can I play better, either now or after you've played a few games. 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.

It is interesting to see what other people are collecting and weighing up whether to block someone else or maximise your own points.Having four or five of them still scores you 10VP, but collect six of them and they’re worth 20VP, and so on. If you are looking for a light, fun and interesting card game to add to your collection then I highly recommend Sushi Go! is a very quick game which makes it a good game to get people to the table and makes for a very welcome change to some of the heavier games that are out there.

Chopsticks can be a wise card to draft early in the round because it offers you a lot of flexibility in a later hand. Players then pass their remaining hand face-down to the left, and pick up the hand given to them from their right. The Go Quest one is especially friendly for beginners as there's no need to try and work out what grade you have as it works it out for you and also allows you to play 9x9 or 13x13 Go. It can work at a two-player count, but Phil Walker-Harding included a variant playing it as a twosome. It is a great introductory game for those new to the idea of card drafting as it is very simple to teach and easy to pick up.Instead, if you draft them, you can use Chopsticks in a unique way later on when you receive a hand of cards.
