Play Famicom Igo Nyuumon (Japan) Online
You learn Go on tiny 9x9 boards first—the computer smacks down bad moves, but explains why, while those 8-bit stone "plinks" stay satisfying.

Famicom Igo Nyuumon was released in 1987 for the Nintendo Entertainment System by Nintendo, serving as an introductory tool for the board game Go. It arrived during a period when the NES library was diversifying, offering not just action games but also educational and strategy titles aimed at a broad audience. This was one of the few dedicated Go tutorials available on the platform, designed to make the complex game more accessible to newcomers.
You play as a student of Go, placing black or white stones on a grid to surround territory and capture opponent pieces. The main objective is to outmaneuver the computer opponent across progressively larger boards, starting with small 9x9 grids before advancing to the full 19x19. Key mechanics include the game’s immediate feedback system, which highlights and explains mistakes after the computer counters your moves, and the tactile, satisfying sound of stones being placed with a clear "plink." The pacing is methodical, encouraging careful thought rather than quick reactions, and the difficulty scales reasonably as you internalize the rules. It feels like having a patient, digital tutor guiding you through each foundational concept of the game.
