- This page is a Wikiportal which serve as a gateway in accessing pages related to sports and games.
A sport is a physical activity or skill carried out under a publicly agreed set of rules, and with a recreational purpose: for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of skill, or some combination of these. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.
A game is a recreational activity involving one or more players, defined by a goal that the players try to reach, and some set of rules that determines what the players can do. Games are played primarily for entertainment or enjoyment, but may also serve an educational or simulational role.

Go is a strategic, two-player board game originating in ancient China between 2000 BC and 200 BC.
Go is a popular game in East Asia. The development of Internet play has served to increase its popularity notably throughout the rest of the world, in recent years. The English name Go originated from the Japanese character 碁 (go). The Chinese name 圍棋 wéiqí roughly translates to the "Board Game of Surrounding (One's Opponent)", or, less literally, the "Enclosing Game".
