Q
Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players in which the aim is to fence off more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.[1][2][3][4][5] A 2016 survey by the International Go Federation's 75 member nations found that there are over 46 million people worldwide who know how to play Go, and over 20 million current players, the majority of whom live in East Asia.[6]
The playing pieces are called stones. One player uses the white stones and the other black stones.

To “black ball” someone means to “ostracize” him or her. The phrase comes from ancient Athens, the home of democracy, meaning “rule of the people”—Greek demos (people) and kratos (rule). The word “ostracize” comes from the Greek word ostrakizein “to banish by voting with potshards.” Those pieces of broken pottery (below) were called ostraka. Some were white/light and some were black. If a government official was tried before a large assembly of his peers and their votes were tabulated and the official had more black balls in the urn than white/light balls, he was banished for ten years.
