I agree 100%. when it comes to board games, Go is about as simple and elegant
as you can get. the beauty of Go is that given essentially 4 simple rules you
can get such fascinating, challenging and complex higher order strategy. A game
that takes minutes to learn by a lifetime to master. (Though, really even the
best in the world don't consider themselves a master of the game.)
I just learnt of Go a few months ago myself, and it captured my heart instantly
