Go Garden: Learn Go & Baduk

Find your next good move.

Go Garden brings the board game Go—also known as Baduk or Weiqi—to iPhone and iPad with a calm board, offline opponents, and lessons that explain what happens on the board.

START FOR FREE
Learn liberties, captures, legal moves, and scoring. Play unlimited games against beginner opponents or share a device for local two-player games. Choose 9×9, 13×13, or 19×19 boards. Undo a move, save a match, revisit it in replay, and share a game as SGF.

UNDERSTAND YOUR MOVES
Place stones with a tap, or enable move confirmation. Invalid moves explain the rule without closing the board. Finish games using an explicit area-scoring review, mark dead groups, or resume play when the position needs more attention.

GO GARDEN PLUS — OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Continue with four guided chapters and 60 exercises covering capture and rescue, group survival, territory, and finishing a game. Try two free previews in each chapter. Plus also unlocks the Forest, Willow, Cedar and Mountain opponents, up to three Key moments after a game (one is free), plus a lead graph for the whole game, and five more board styles. For bot games it adds two optional helpers: Coach offers a second try when a move gives up a lot, and Hint points to where to look. Free players get one Hint per bot game as a taste.

The initial Plus campaign is a non-consumable purchase, not a subscription. Future separately sold expansions are not included. Existing foundational lessons and core play remain free.

Play offline without an app account. No ads, energy meters, or paid retries. Purchase and restore require access to the App Store.
