Ai Igo is a video game based on the traditional Japanese game of GO, released in 1997 for Sega Saturn. The game of GO involves encircling and dominating enemy territory. You start with an empty board, with 19x19 intersections and black and white pieces. Each player takes turns placing a stone at an intersection and attempting to encircle an area. Pieces remain on the board in the same position they were placed, unless they are surrounded and captured. The player who can control a larger area of the game board wins.
