囲碁であそぼ – A Fun and Educational Go Game

囲碁であそぼ, developed by UNBALANCE Corporation, is a brand new introductory app to the game of Go. This app provides an enjoyable way to learn and play Go while immersing yourself in a captivating story.

The game features a story mode called “Journey of Exploration” which resembles an RPG. As you travel across Japan, you will learn Go in a fun and interactive way. Set in the Go Warring States period, your goal is to collect the family crests of local warlords from all 47 prefectures.

In addition to the story mode, the app also offers various other game modes such as the “Stone Capturing Game” for practicing capturing stones, “Training” for playing games on 6×6 and 9×9 boards, and the “Dojo” mode for serious matches to test your Go skills.

One of the highlights of the app is its gamified learning experience, which keeps you engaged and motivated to continue playing. Collecting game boards, shopping, and completing 50 different missions are just a few of the enjoyable elements that make learning Go a natural and ongoing process.

The app is supervised by three renowned Go professionals who provide all the problem sets and explanations. Taishi Ohashi (7-dan), Yukari Yoshihara (6-dan), and Hayato Kazama (4-dan) have all contributed their expertise to ensure a high-quality learning experience.

With its captivating story mode, engaging gameplay, and expert supervision, 囲碁であそぼ is a must-have app for anyone looking to learn and enjoy the game of Go.
