Go (Baduk) First Steps

A calm learning app for people new to Baduk (Go), the classic strategy board game. Go beyond memorizing rules: place stones on the board, learn how they work, and play through your first full game.

Step-by-step Baduk lessons from the start
Learn across 10 levels with 80 detailed lessons, from liberties and atari, capturing, connection and cutting, life and death, territory and influence, openings, to endgame. Each lesson follows a clear flow: read the explanation, observe the position, play guided moves, then solve practice problems. When you get stuck, use step-by-step hints and try again.

Hands-on capturing and problem practice
See how capturing works and how the last liberty decides the outcome by playing it yourself, not just reading about it. Even after a mistake, guidance keeps you focused on the key idea of each problem, and completed lessons can be practiced again.

Easy AI games to start
Play against local AI on 5x5, 7x7, and 9x9 boards. Choose your opponent, then apply what you learned on smaller boards in real game flow. Build a habit of thinking move by move while watching stone count, captures, and territory.

Review at your own pace
Lesson progress and game records are saved on your device, so you can continue even after closing the app. Replay past games to revisit missed moments, and repeat familiar topics as often as you like.

Core lessons, practice, local AI games, and review work without an internet connection. Start with your first move today, and go one step deeper tomorrow.
