Here's some classic 1970s TV from the People's Republic of Yorkshire, hosted by the legendary Fred Trueman.

That's called "Bar Skittles". Quite a few of those games are sadly pretty much extinct now.

There was a kind of one dimensional Go played in British pubs at one time:

The rumor is that 3000 years ago the Chinese saw this game.. put on an extra set of lines and Go was created...
