Sibigi

Sibigi refers to a traditional Korean board game, similar to checkers or draughts, but played on a go board (also called a baduk board) with a specific set of rules. The name "Sibigi" directly translates to "Twelve Stones," reflecting the number of pieces each player begins with. The game involves strategic movement and capture of opponent's pieces, aiming to either completely eliminate the opponent's pieces or block their movement to the point where they can no longer make a legal move. Sibigi is considered a folk game and is often played casually, with regional variations in specific rules. The game showcases elements of Korean culture and strategic thinking. While not as widely known internationally as games like Go or Korean Chess (Janggi), Sibigi remains a part of Korean traditional game heritage.
