Baduk(Go) is an ancient board game which takes simple elements -- Line and Circle,
Black and White, Stone and Wood -- combines them with simple rules and generates
subtleties which have enthralled players for millennia. Beyond being merely a game,
Baduk can take on other meanings to enthusiasts: analogy with life, intense meditation,
mirror of one's personality, exercise in abstract reasoning or when played well,
beautiful arts in which Black and White dance across the board in delicate balance.
But most important for all who play, Baduk is challenging and fun.
