| | | Description: | | Consider yourself a militaristic genius? Ready to set out for blood to gain territory and crush your opponent? Not so fast...Go, an ancient game of Chinese origin, rewards patience and concentration rather than greed and aggression. The shifting balance of territory and power can unnerve even the most disciplined and intellectual player. Like martial arts, Go is an exercise in concentration, balance, and discipline. One cannot disguise one's personality on the Go board! Go can be learned in minutes, but it can take a lifetime to master. The large board and lack of restrictions allows great scope in strategy and expression of players' individuality. The object of the two-player game is to gain control of territories by alternately placing black or white stones strategically across a large ruled board. While it is easy to learn, this game of beauty and intellectual challenge provides hours of entertainment for players. Our 12" wooden game board has an elegant blond veneer and comes with plastic stones and two cloth bags. | | | Features: | |

 Great game, but poor-quality equipmentJun 14, 2006
By Luke Meyers
This was the first go board I ever had, about ten years ago (looks like it's still the same as it was then). The game of go itself is wonderful, and everyone should learn and teach all their friends. This equipment, though, is of poor quality and overpriced in relation to that lack of quality.
The board itself is a cheap wood laminate -- I carried mine around in a backpack a few times, and the corners started coming apart. It's basically plywood, and won't survive ungentle use like a solid piece of wood will. The stones are cheap plastic things, whereas a basic set of good ceramic/glass stones are not that expensive. Lastly and most importantly, this go set is *tiny*! While that does make it more compact, it's very hard to manipulate. Fingers constantly bump the (very lightweight) stones by accident, it's hard to avoid messing up the board layout, and the whole "feel" of the game is lost.

The board is too smallAug 15, 2008
By Xinyu
GO is a very fun game, but his board is really too small, and the stones are kind of small and light as well. If you never player GO before, you can get this one to get you started. Otherwise it's worth it getting better quality board and stones.

By L. Yanagimachi
This game has simple rules but allows for complex thinking. Good for all ages. My son started playing when he was 9 and loved it.
