I wanted to learn how to play after watching a few dozen episodes of Hikaru no Go, but it's such an obtuse game. Chess I can understand, but Go has a level of strategy that my mind just can't grasp.
That's the great thing tho, the rules are very simple, anyone can pick up how to play. Then the strategy has so many layers that people can devote a lifetime of study to it, and it can become quite a psychological battle of wills between the two players in a way. But you can enjoy it right from the beginning without all that. And the handicap system means a game between players of very different skill can still be fun. Man I need to get back into playing go!
+1 for Hikaru no Go
Bought a Go set and brought to chess club; that went well lol
Read the Janice Kim books from her Learn to Play Go series and played some online
In the end stopped playing from lack of local players; now I play various other board games instead
