Learn Baduk: Beginner Go Rules

A beginner-friendly app for learning the game of Go (baduk). No hard jargon, no crushing AI — just tap the board and learn the rules of Go one move at a time.

■ Interactive rules tutorial Placing stones, liberties, atari, capture, two eyes (life), and counting territory — you learn Go by doing, not by reading. Gentle, step-by-step guidance built for absolute beginners.

■ Step-by-step Go puzzles Start with simple captures and build up. Solve "one move to capture" Go problems to grow your reading. Correct moves get warm praise; mistakes just invite you to try again.

■ Play real Go against the AI Put what you learned into practice. Start with Capture Go (beginner match), then step up to real 9x9 Go with full rules. Play with a handicap (five stones to even) that fits your level, and unlock the next rung when you win. The AI is tuned so beginners can actually win — with an atari coach and undo to keep it stress-free.

■ Warm design made for beginners A warm wooden board and large, clear type instead of a cold, intimidating screen. A learn-to-play-Go experience that says "I can do this too."

■ Great for · Anyone who wants to learn Go but doesn't know where to start · Learners who want to really understand the rules (liberties, atari, capture, territory) · Parents starting Go with their kids · Returning players brushing up the basics
