Board size can be 15x15 or 19x19. Black moves first, which gives an advantage - there is an option of give a handicap to the first player. Place stones on the intersections of lines on the board. The winner is the first to get 5 stones in a line or diagonally.

This is a fascinating game. Be warned - the computer players are good at it!
