1. The objective of the game is to control more territory on the board than your opponent.
2. The game is played on a board that has a 19x19 grid of lines to create 361 intersections, or points.
3. The pieces used in the game are called “stones”.
4. Stones are placed on the intersections of the board’s lines.
5. Once a stone is placed on the board, it can never be moved to a different intersection.
6. Players take turns placing a stone on one of the empty intersections until all available points on the board are filled.
7. Each move must result in an area that is at least partially surrounded by the player’s stones, and must be made somewhere along the edge of this surrounded area.
8. A player can also pass their turn.
9. The game is won by the player who controls the most territory on the board at the end of the game.
