Has anybody got any tips or experience with teaching go to young children? I've started trying to teach my 4 year old first capture Go on a 5x5 grid by telling her we're trying to stop the pieces from being able to escape so we can grab them! It seems to be working out pretty well so far, at least for keeping her attention for short periods before we start making patterns and pictures with the stones.

I'm not a stickler on the rules, I figure at that age there's no wrong way to play. I think it's been going pretty well. I try and lose most games and I'm having to remind her a bit less about obvious capture opportunities. She's generally pretty eager to play, although she doesn't request it unprompted like she would with other card or board games.

Update on this: we're playing maybe once or twice a week, about 5 games in each session before we start making pretty patterns. I usually have to bribe her with a sticker but she's keen enough. She's started to learn a few things (like that starting in the corner is bad) and can sometimes recognise if she can win on the next turn (does a lot better with prompting about wins / losses). Going to move up to a 7x7 board and see how we go.

Moved up to 7x7 first capture with Space Cadet. Was clearly a step up for her and I had to try much harder to lose. She's still enjoying it though.

Still working on explaining capturing territory being good and that filling in everything you surround isn't essential.PerniciousKnid posted:My kid always wants to play Uno instead. She never asks to play it but often says yes if I suggest it. More often if bribery is involved.

I will lose 100% of the time when I give her 4 stones handicap and I have to work pretty hard to win with 3, and she's learnt to connect things up to keep them safe and her main strategy is to block me as much as she can.

Space Cadet insisted on playing on a full 19x19 board tonight. I gave her a huge handicap and pulled my punches a lot but it was a good game. I think we're going to scale back to something smaller in general (11x11 or 13x13) but she enjoyed it which was awesome.
