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. My almost 8 year old has picked up the game really well - but I think much younger children would find it dull.

The Go board is of high quality and a pleasure to use. The 'stones' are a little dissapointing as they are of a different size, black to white, and the plastic is not of the same quality as the board.

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.

Game is good but not the equipment - used???
If I was a picky person or if this was a set for a different game where you would want brand new shiny stuff to play with I would have already sent it back. Read more

too small board to play
The wooden board is ok quality, but it is just too small to play comfortably. Also the plastic pieces are too light and painful to operate. Read more

An excellent choice
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. Read more
