Customer Reviews
Exactly what you need to get started. My original board came damaged but they replaced it very very quickly. Super happy with the purchase
This is a very nice board, and nice stones. The bowls are a little cheap, but not unusable. I do wish this came with some kind of sleeve or case for the board for storage and portability; it doesn’t look like there’s even anything available for purchase separately. Overall this is a decent set with some room for improvement.
my only goban and stones i had access to before getting these were a hinged wooden board and glass stones bought in the 80s by my parents in japan. the new stones on my new board initially felt a lot more slippery but the problem seems to have mostly gone away over time.
i recommend. places where go sets at this price are sold for quality as decent as this are hard to find.
Never played Go before. The look and feel of the board and stones is great! Although, the plastic containers for the stones feel cheap. Not a big deal overall.
Very good. Useful
