Additional Recreation - Go

Description
Tired of chess? Try the ancient game of Go! This mod adds Go as a recreation activity. Bring this very cool game to your pawns stranded out on the Rim.

The Go Board, also called a Goban, is available to build from the Recreation tab after researching Complex Furniture.

@DisKorruptd Thanks for your comment! Chess is actually medieval tech level in the code - I discovered that while making this mod. If you do a medieval start the Chess table should be available already, I think.

I still did try to make the Goban an option in between Game of Ur and Chess. Go is a very old game, older than Chess, so I made it possible to build the Goban with a Neolithic tech level. However, I locked it behind researching Complex Furniture to reflect that Go is not quite as old as the Game of Ur.

so, I kinda like the idea of this being the medieval equivalent to Chess and Ur, since starting as industrial lets you make chessboards and Neolithic lets you make the Game of Ur, starting medieval would let you build Goban

Nah, you have a good point about it, since it's related to chess.

@TurtleShroom It's Cerebral Play like Chess and the Game of Ur. It's mostly copied from the chess code because I wanted to keep it balanced. Do you think it could count as something else? I'm open to suggestions!

Does the game count the Go game as its own form of Recreation, or is it just Cerebral Play like Chess is set?

I'd argue a go board is easier to make than a chessboard when you crash land or are a tribal on a planet. So this is actually the more practical boardgame imho.
