Three sizes, real star points
The board has the standard star points (hoshi) for each size and optional coordinates on all sides, with letters skipping I. A light tint behind the grid suggests a wooden board without using much ink.
How to play in brief
Players take turns placing a stone on an empty intersection. Stones with no empty neighbouring point are captured. The player who surrounds more territory wins. Beginners usually start on 9×9 boards, which take about fifteen minutes.

Frequently asked questions
What can I use as stones?
Black and white buttons, coins of two kinds, or draw with pencil and erase captured stones.
Why is there no letter I?
Go coordinates traditionally skip I to avoid confusion with J.
Is the board printed at real size?
A real 19×19 board is about 42×45 cm. On Letter or A4 the board is smaller, so use small tokens or play with a pencil.
