Go, also known as Weiqi in Mandarin Chinese (Traditional Chinese: 圍棋; Simplified Chinese: 围棋), and Baduk in Korean (Hangul:바둑), is a strategic, deterministic two-player board game originating in ancient China, before 200 BC. The game is now popular throughout East Asia and on the Internet. The object of the game is to place stones so they control a larger board territory than one's opponent, while preventing them from being surrounded and captured by the opponent.

The English name Go originated from the Japanese pronunciation "go" of the Chinese characters 棋/碁; in Japanese the name is written 碁. The Chinese name W�iq� roughly translates as "encirclement chess", the "board game of surrounding", or the "enclosing game". Its ancient Chinese name is 弈 (Pinyin: y�). The writings 棋/碁 are variants, as seen in the Chinese Kangxi Dictionary. The game is also known as 囲碁 (igo) in Japanese.

Sorry Im just too lazy to think of words of my own, besides wikipedia explains it much better than I do.

Ermm used to play that in school for the past few years especially after exam.
Just use the exercise book with lotz of small square - usually used for Maths then select yr pen colour then draw a circle to determine yr 'stone'.
If u managed to surround yr oppenent's 'stone', just draw line connecting all yr stones.

That my friend is just paper and pen game, the real wei qi has some different rules which makes it much more challenging.
