Which is why it's probably the perfect e-mail game....

Go is a great, great game.

I agree, the rules are so simple (the end to count takes a while, but not too long though), so simple that all you can say is duh to the rules, but the game, out of that simplicity is far more complex in deep thought in chess.

Go takes 5 minutes to learn, 5 lifetimes to master.

And anyone reading this can contact me privately for a game :P

Actually, I have seen some fistfights break out between people playing Axis and Allies.

Wow. I witnessed a few of those myself.

"Battleships get TWO hits, you moron!"

"What the hell are you DOING?! Russia doesn't by a battleship on the first round! Don't do that!!"

"Give me some help, America! Stop wanking off over there with Japan and try fighting a war for once!"

"Oh, christ, Germany got heavy bombers AGAIN. Why do we even play anymore? He ALWAYS gets heavy bombers."

"Ah, the famous Japanese gambit of invading Mexico. Wait, that's not famous. Why not? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING STUPID, THAT'S WHY NOT!"
