...'false complexity' the game isnt really complex it just has loads of rules and random stuff...
Another term I've seen for this concept is "complication". Then one may speak of simple, complex, or complicated systems. Complexity is (perhaps unexpected) behavior that arises from the interaction of relatively few basic behaviors. Complication comes instead from just heaping more and more crap on top of the existing system.
There is no accounting for taste. Many people appreciate complication more than complexity.
I have played go, but not enough to be any good at it.
