Let’s ‘Go’! Columbia City all-ages/family-friendly meetup

We play/learn* 围棋(wěiqí)/i“go”/baduk together! The cohosts usually bring boards and stones but you are welcome to bring your own. (There is always a board stored at Bananas that you can ask for at the counter, should your fingers itch for stones between meetups.) This meetup is cohosted by a lifetime member of the Seattle Go Center, which was started by Iwamoto Kaoru to spread international peace and understanding: https://www.seattlego.org What is go? Go is a zero luck yet very aesthetic/spatial two-player game (though we at Bananas like every chance to pair up into two teams to play with extra chaos and humor). https://www.seattlego.org/history-of-go/ *Part of the beauty of go, is that we are always learning. We are happy to teach/share what we know, and play with you! All skill levels and ages welcome. The game has lasted thousands of years for a reason (and remained a holy grail for AI until 2016, two decades after chess). We also have folks who just come for the company/conversation/food, and one who plays amazingly without ever learning the rules 😅 With a free meetup account I can only create 2/4-5 weekly events each month, capped at 10 people. Please feel free to use the waitlist feature to let us know to expect you and/or just plan to come! We have historically consistently (95%+) maintained a weekly presence, and will communicate otherwise.
