I have become very addicted to the board game of Go.
This game started in China over 3500 years ago,and is one of the most popular of board games in China,South Korea,and Japan.
It is played on a 19x19 grid board,with Black and White alternating turns,Black always having first move in the game.
The purpose of the game is to surround as much territory as possible.
Here is an example of a professional game:

This particular game is Game 6 of the 2001 Kisei tournament,won by O Rissei of Taiwan (black) over Cho Sonjin of Korea (white).
Where this game gets frustrar=ting is that I have yet to progress past 23 kyu(very weak player).http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/cry1.gif
