I've always been curious about Go, and this gives a very nice hands-on way to learn to play.
Go is the greatest game ever made. No other game can provide such effortless flexibility and fun in such simple rules. I play all the time on DGS and try and show everyone I can this wonderful game. The only thing that sucks is that you're gonna lose again and again until you finally start to understand how to not lose, so it's hard to keep people playing unless they absolutely want to get better at the game.
I did not expect to get sucked in but sucked in I got.
I had an ex who played all the time, teach me. If you guys pick out a place online, I would be open to a game every once in a while. It's a pretty bloodthirsty game for just white and black dots. I didn't care about loosing territory enough. If I just get this little corner here, I would amend the soil to be more than productive enough. Also I didn't want the whole board, because that would be too much maintenance. I was often told the game was about war, not farming. It is considered a martial art, and helps you better understand China's history of foreign policy. If you can start, or find a Go club in a coffee shop, it is the ideal way for shy people to socialize.
