Baduk is an ancient military strategy game using 361 black and white stones on a 19x19 grid board, having merely six simple rules, but a depth of strategy which humbles the best pros of the game, leaving them at times mystified when asked to explain why they made certain plays. The ineffable beauty and complexity of the game fully engages both hemispheres of the brain, as opposed to the dominant Left-brain demands of other complete information, definitive strategy games.
