Love our new 2 inch Go board. It will occupy a prominent place in our home.
Click clack thwack go the stones. Great board. Buy it.
I have both the 2" bamboo board and 1.6" shin kaya board, and the 2" bamboo board is miles better. This feels like a solid piece of wood and it's very heavy, while the shin kaya board is made out of a few pieces of wood and feels very light and hollow. I would recommend getting this over the shin kaya board, especially since this is cheaper.
This board is a conversation starter! I can leave this out on my coffee table and everyone who comes to my house is instantly intrigued. ÒIs this that game from Knives Out?Ó ÒIt sure is. Want to learn how to play?Ó Even if they don't want to learn, they'll admire this beautiful board. 19x19 for the full games and 13x13 on the inverse for those quicker matches. Came in a felt sleeve to prevent dings and scratches during transit. So happy with my purchase!
The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the board came with one of the corners dented in like it had been dropped during packaging. Otherwise the quality is great and seems like it will last a lifetime. I will definitely be a returning customer.
