Grasp has that ordinary feeling like "chutes & ladders". Makes it sound like a mere board game :).

How about "Lithos". Go greeks :P.

EDIT: actually i just said it half jokingly, but now i like it quite a bit. mmm.

Ambrosio Wang An-Po, who introduced Go in Spain in the 1950s, named it Cercado, which in Spanish means "fence" or "enclosure".

yeah, as soon as I realized that my Pente board was the same size as a Go board, I went to the craft store and bought some more of those irregular shaped flat bottomed glass stones and used it as my first Go board.
