I like Go too. As I remember, "Go" comes from Japanese: 1, "ichi", 2, "ni", 3, "san", 4, "she", 5, "go" because to get five in a row is the goal of the game.

That is gomoku and is fun too but not anything like go other than
having the same board and pieces. I think in Japan go is called igo but
I am not sure about that. It might be that it just sounds like the word
for five, not sure.
