Go is a "game of surrounding" (a loose translation of Wéiqí). Players place pieces, called <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''stones''</span> on the intersections, called <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''points''</span>, of a grid of lines on the top of the <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''goban''</span>, or go board. The general idea is to surround more points of <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''territory''</span>, or empty intersections, than your opponent. Players do this by taking turns placing black and white stones on the points. Once a player removes his/her hand from a stone, the move is final and play continues to second player. If a player does not feel they can make any constructive moves, they may choose to <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''pass''</span> their turn. If both players pass consecutively, the game ends and the score is determined. If a player feels that they cannot possibly hope to win, they may choose to <span style="color: #4B7A1B">''resign''</span>. Games won by way of resignation do not take score. | Go is a "game of surrounding" (a loose translation of Wéiqí).
