The Portland Go Club provides interactive teachings on the rules, strategies, and history of Weiqi.
11 AM – 1 PM | Every 3rd Sunday, April 19 – September 20, 2026
Weiqi, also known as Go, holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously played strategy game globally, with origins dating back at least 3,500 years. While its rules can be grasped in mere minutes, the game’s strategies and historical significance are vast. As part of our ongoing cultural programs, the Portland Go Club will provide teachings and demonstrations on the rules, strategies, and history of Weiqi, considered one of the four traditional Scholarly Arts. Attendees will have the opportunity to observe live demonstrations and engage in Weiqi gameplay with volunteers from the Portland Go Club.
