This set is perfect for playing with my young son to teach him the game. Good quality.
This is a well made, attractive Go board. We have already enjoyed several games. 19X19 board is in our future. Thank you.
I learned about Go from a book I read.
I instantly wanted a set after hours of research yminports kept coming up as the go to resource for sets.
After my purchase I can see why. The board is nice and solid and the stones are smooth and of high quality.
I would buy another set again in a heartbeat!
I am a complete beginner to the game so I wanted a nice inexpensive set to learn. The set came nicely wrapped to prevent damage and the instruction book by Karl Baker was very informative. Board is nice. I hope to get many years from this set.
The board is thick, multi-sided and has nice integrity for the price. The stones are very nice but they are a little light and smooth, so you might have to adjust to them as they are prone to easily slipping, definitely something I got used to and no longer mind. It is a great set, I would recommend it, especially for those who like playing on the small boards(9x9/13x13)!
