The ancient board game Go is traditionally used as educational tool in East Asian countries. Recently, neurobiological and psychological evidence has been found on the effects of Go playing regarding various intellectual and emotional factors. In this survey, we summarize these results and develop a coherent picture of the value that Go can add to education, as well as to psychological treatment. We will also briefly highlight what makes Go special as compared to other commonly played board games.
