We are really pleased with this Go set. It has a full size board (which we sectioned off with a paper frame when learning the game)and is made of really robust good quality varnished wood. It also has two very nice pull out drawers to store the counters in. We decided to get Go as an alternative to Chess - it is similar in that you always need to plan a few steps ahead to be successful - so is great for developing logic skills.This game is not really suitable for younger children - the counters look just like smarties (if they made white and black ones) and could be easily swallowed. Also the way the counters(which curve up) don't sit totally flat on the board mean that they can really easily be disturbed and knocked out of place.

I bought this for my husband for his Christmas box as he has a 'thing' for strategy games! I have bought games in the past and even had them shipped in from the USA because they are so different.The 'Go' game is an abstract strategy board game for two players where the ultimate goal is to surround more territory than your opponent. One of the things that proves interesting for players of strategy games is that the game originated and was invented in ancient China more than 5,500 years ago, and is still the oldest board game continuously played today. The rules are relatively simple, however, the game is highly complex and apparently possesses more possibilities than the total number of atoms

This is a very nice looking piece of kit: there's definitely an aesthetic aspect to this intriguing game. I chose this one, because it had received good reviews on Amazon. Also, the reduced price and free postage were definite pluses for one on a limited income such as I. The board is made of wood, with swing out drawers where the stones are kept. It looks fairly robust, so should last awhile. The custom in Japan, is to keep your unused stones in a wooden bowl, so two bowls would be required. These are not included, so you'll have to buy them separately, if you want them. You could also use small china bowls. By the way, one reviewer pointed out that the black stones are slightly larger than the white.

This is a well made game, that so far looks durable (played several times). For those that do not know GO it is a game that you need to think several moves ahead, more so than chess I think, and so is a good game for training the mind. This is a full sized board 19 x 19, you may want to start with a smaller board, less expensive, but with this one you can easily section off an area and play 9 x 9 or similar.

A nice set at a reasonable price point. (Go sets can be very expensive.) My only criticism would be that the pieces can escape the draws when they are folded inside if it is turned on it's side or upside down. However they are still trapped inside and don't get lost. If packing for travel put the pieces into small bags inside the draws to fix. Otherwise an excellent set we haven't regretted buying.

Really good board. I love the way the side panels slide out and tuck away neatly inside the main board. It is nice and compact yet big enough for a good game. I have no problem with the plastic disks. They are all made to a high standard and feel just fine. The game is great too but probably worth looking up some rules :)

it's actually quite good qualitysome said stones were different sizes, not in mine, they have a nice feel toothe only draw back is where the stones are kept, they pivot out and a bit too easily I'd say, almost impossible to transport if not in its box or with a large rubber band holing them in

My son is very pleased with this game although there aren't many people he can play it with. It's quiet different from all the games he's ever had. He can even beat my husband at it, but it took him some time and some Internet lessons to play it well (link [...]).

The first Go board I ever bought and I am very pleased with it.I was inspired to learn Go after seeing DeepMind beat Lee Sedol.The board is very sturdy and well built. The pieces are very robust and smooth to hold. It will make playing the game very enjoyable.

Bought as a present, this was good value and good quality. playing counters are plastic and quite small, the board is wooden and draws fold out well and keep counters tidy. Would recommend as thought it was good for the price.

This board is lovely quality. The stones, although plastic, are extremely pleasant to use with a decent weight for their size. The draws make a great place to store the stones. An excellent board for a bargain price.

Good quality product, and with fast delivery. The game is nicely made with drawers for the black and white counters. The counters are a little bit light weight [plastic], but nevertheless it is good value.

Lovely box with compartments for stones. Wish stones were flat, being rounded can slide around if not careful. Tough game to really understand!
