Beechwood Veneer 0.4" Go Game Board w/ Single Convex Melamine Stones Set
Brand: Yellow Mountain Imports
The perfect board to teach go. The 9x9 grid is popular for fast and instructive games. The size is less intimidating than larger boards and makes go instantly fun for those just introduced to the game.
This board is paired with a set of single convex melamine stones. Melamine is an exceptionally durable compound commonly used when strength is essential, such as kitchen counters and industrial applications. These are excellent stones to use in an environment where the stones will be put to constant, hard use. Like Yunzi stones, they have a satisfying heft and snap to them. Also included is a booklet on how to play go, "The Way to Go", by Karl Baker.
- One 0.4" (10mm) thick beechwood veneer table board (goban).
- Board is Chinese standard size (23mm x 25mm grids) and measures 9.8" x 9.3" x 0.4" (250mm x 235mm x 10mm). Playing field is 9x9.
- 181 black and 180 white Melamine stones. 21.5-22mm (Size 3) single convex stones measure 5.6mm tall and 22mm wide (approximately 0.22" x 0.87").
- Two plastic bowls (gosu).
- Booklet on how to play go, "The Way to Go", by Karl Baker.

United StatesI got these Go sets as Christmas gifts. They will be opened by the gift recipients. What I mean is that I haven't even looked at the sets so my review is only of the shipping department. The shipping was fast and packing was satisfactory. Communication, mostly system-generated emails, was good. Thanks!

The board is superb. The lines are cut in to the board and the quality is excellent. It's a thin board as far as go is concerned.. but its portable, and sturdy. Stones are nice, if in need of a little cleaning at first. I immediately replaced the scratchy-rimmed and flimsy bowls with two Dentyne gum 60-pack tubs (labels and stickers removed). This provided a much more elegant and convenient solution for carrying the 41 black and 40 white stones needed for the 9x9 set. (Don't need a bowl for 181 black stones for a game board meant for 41 black stones). Overall-- great set. It's the little details on the bowls that just irritated me.. would have paid a bit more for half-decent bowls meant for 9x9 play and transport.
