Customer Reviews
Beautiful look and feel to all elements of this game. I looked at less expensive and more expensive versions but this won me over as the best value. Arrived as scheduled, in time for Christmas. Now…to learn how to play!!
The board is gorgeous. The stones are slippery and can disrupt other stones if one loses grip on a stone.
Immediately after I reviewed again, an automatic response appeared.
NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!
I typoed on the last one, meant to say perhaps no more PURCHASES,

I received this as a Christmas gift and have enjoyed it greatly. Pretty much my only critique is it would be nice to have some kind of latch to hold it shut for transport so that it could be held sideways without risk of it popping open. It does have magnets that sort of do this but I'm not confident that they would hold against the pressure of jostling stones inside with the board held sideways.
Overall very pleasant to use
