Roughly translated from the back of the box:

"4 by 4 Go" is a puzzle game designed by pro Go player Chang Hsu (AKA Cho U 9 dan) for his four-year-old daughter, which is based on the rules of Go. The name comes from there being 4 lines to play on, each line being called "RO" (1ro, 2ro, 3ro, etc) and "YON" meaning the number four.

Instead of the black and white stones common to Go, the game uses red and green discs resembling apples and the board has been made to look like a tree. Included is a booklet of puzzles questions for children to think about and arrange on the board to try solving with friends and family.

Once the first step of basic challenges has been completed, a 2 player Go-like game called "Stone Capture" (ishi o toru) can be played. [Players take turns placing apples (stones), capturing each others stones until either the opponent has no place to play or the board is dominated by one color.]

The box set includes:
15 Red Apples
15 Green Apples
Question Booklet
4x4 Go Board
