Beginner’s Go Game Set with Reversible Bamboo 13 x 13/9 x 9 Grid Go Board, Bowls, & Single Convex Melamine Stones

I was mostly looking for a 9x9 board. I already have a 19x19 / 13x13 board, with stones and bowls, but wanted a 9x9 to play with my nephew.The boards are compatible, as they are both made of bamboo. This one is obviously smaller, but thats what I was looking for.The bowls are different. This came with a plastic bowel with interlocking lids. The other one is made of bamboo and needa a strap to prevent the lids from slipping during transport. It also cracked after a few years of owning it, wood glue helped. For practical use, these plastic ones may be better then the bamboo ones.The stones are also different. This are fancy plastic that is single convex. The other are nice yunzi stones that are double convex. While I will always prefer the yunzi ones, these plastics ones are better then I expected. These stones will not make you vommit like other plastics stones I have tried and will not get in the way of the playing experience.Overall, if you are looking to play some quick, inperson games of Go, this board will do.

My son loves this game! However, instructions would have been nice to include

Hi quality, well constructed

Bought this to take to our local Go Club for playing with beginners. The bamboo board is lovely, though there is a very slight marring on one etched board line on one side, but in the spirit, we simply choose to celebrate the imperfection. The plastic bowls have locking lids, making them great for travel or storage. the single-convex stones are durable and good-looking, and are great for beginners as they are easier to place on the board. The stones are a little big, and end up feeling a little cramped if used on a regulation sized 19x19 board, but overall this is a wonderful beginner set and is highly recommended.

im impressed the board desine was imprinted, and not printed on I can tell this set will last a wile, the cases for the piceses is a durable plastic and the desine is more in depth then i was thinking, the lids even twist to lock, nice, i just baught a 2nd one for a gift to a friend, looking fowerd to using this set to learn, and play go

Needs more instructions on how to play or YouTube link for new learners.

The wood of this board is quite thick, and well-made. The stones feel great and we are having a great time learning how to play. Glad that I chose this set over the others that I was looking at.

We did not realize the containers holding the pieces would be plastic, however the Board is wood. The little pieces are also plastic. It's been hard to find this game so it is worth it for us.
