15. Go

It's difficult to justify this being on the list at all, because I've stopped playing it. Last year, in a similar list, I put Go at #1. At that time I was learning the game and was completely enthralled with its almost other-worldly qualities. In fact, I believe that something inside of me will always consider Go the "perfect" game, if such a thing can exist. The problem is that, at least presently, I don't have the patience for it. Go deserves one's complete attention, and I just don't have that to give.

One oft-asked question in the gaming community is: "Which games would you take to a deserted island?"

After giving it some thought, I believe my answer now would be a single Go set.
