About this game

A beginner-friendly app for learning the game of Go (baduk). No hard jargon, no crushing AI — just tap the board and learn the rules of Go one move at a time.

■ Interactive rules tutorial
Placing stones, liberties, atari, capture, two eyes (life), and counting territory — you learn Go by doing, not by reading. Gentle, step-by-step guidance built for absolute beginners.

■ Step-by-step Go puzzles
Start with simple captures and build up. Grow your reading with varied Go problems and explanations, including 256 intermediate challenges in double atari, capturing races, snapback, and area comparison. Correct moves get warm praise; mistakes just invite you to try again.

■ Play real Go against the AI
Put what you learned into practice. Start with Capture Go (beginner match), then step up to real 9x9 and 13x13 Go with full rules. Play with a handicap (five stones to even) that fits your level, and unlock the next rung when you win. The AI is tuned so beginners can actually win — with an atari coach and undo to keep it stress-free. Progress is tracked separately for each board size, and you can zoom in on the 13x13 board.

■ Warm design made for beginners
A warm wooden board and large, clear type instead of a cold, intimidating screen. A learn-to-play-Go experience that says "I can do this too."

■ Great for
· Anyone who wants to learn Go but doesn't know where to start
· Learners who want to really understand the rules (liberties, atari, capture, territory)
· Parents starting Go with their kids
· Returning players brushing up the basics

Place your first stone with First Go today.
Learn Go for beginners: rules, liberties, capture, then play Go vs AI.
