一款流传几千年、至今仍被爱着的棋
Long before phones and screens, people gathered around boards marked with lines and dotted with pieces. Some of these games are astonishingly old, and a few are still played almost exactly as they were thousands of years ago.
早在手机和屏幕出现之前，人们就围坐在画着线、摆着棋子的棋盘旁。有些这样的游戏古老得令人惊讶，其中少数几种至今仍几乎和几千年前一模一样地被玩着。
One of the oldest is a game of black and white stones played on a grid. The rules are simple enough to explain in a minute, yet the number of possible games is larger than the number of atoms in the known universe. This gap between simple rules and endless depth is exactly why it has survived.
其中最古老的一种，是在方格棋盘上用黑白棋子对弈的游戏。规则简单到一分钟就能讲清，可能出现的棋局数量却比已知宇宙中的原子还要多。正是这种「规则简单、变化无穷」的落差，让它得以流传至今。
