Nowadays, it is mostly played in China (where it is called 圍棋 ''wei-qi'' or ''wei-ch'i''), [[Korea]] (where its name is 바둑 ''baduk'' or ''paduk'') and [[Japan]] (where the name 碁 ''go'', or 囲碁 ''igo'', comes from), though its popularity throughout the rest of the world has increased steadily in recent decades.
