Wonderful gift for kids!

The game board has good balance of very good manufacturing, standard size, & price.About GO game - by teaching and playing with children, all of you will have good time now, the children will learn something they will enjoy for life (and hopefully learn to see the details of the parts and analyze the wholesome picture of the situation simultaneously), you will slow down the aging process of your brain, and most importantly, you'll have better relationship.

Pros
  • Love it!!!
Cons
  • The stones may have a strong chemical smell that could be off-putting to some users

Ancient Chinese board game-- Go

the board is pretty good with 19x19 and 13x13 on the opposite side. but the black pieces are 179 that is short two pieces, and the white pieces are 179 that is short one piece, also there is one piece is in a smaller size than the rest of regular ones.It seems small mistakes, however for the price of the products, I really wish there is no such small mistakes at all.

Pros
  • The Go board game set is a great way to spend time with loved ones and connect with them
Cons
  • The set may be more difficult to clean than other similar products on the market

Very Nice Go Set: my feedback

I am very pleased with this Go Set by Brybelly. The bamboo board is beautiful and lays flat, I was concerned because some reviewers' boards arrived either warped or with a crack that grew over time. I taught my teenage daughter the rules of Go and she beat me badly. We also played "Connect 5". The wooden bowls and stones are also of decent quality! This Go Set is perfect for "stay at home" family fun because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pros
  • Brybelly
Cons
  • The set may be difficult to clean or sanitize due to its complex design

Any GO player would be happy with this set.

This is a decent enough GO set and about as close as you can get to a professional set for the price.The stones are bakelite and feel satisfyingly good when played even though just one side is convex - but I think that gives them a little more stability. They are not perfect and I can see a seam mark from the mold on most of them but it's pretty minor.The polished bamboo bowls are strikingly beautiful and are art objects in themselves. They show a beautiful grain.The board is plain (as it…

Pros
  • Real authentic vibe. Very sturdy and nice original design
Cons
  • The board was uneven and rough unacceptably so for its price.

Great Board and Stone Containers

I really love this product! The stone containers look great and the board with well constructed and heavy. The reverse side of the board I got, like another reviewer, is actually a Xiangqi board and not the 13 x 13 board pictured. This actually isn't a big deal to me because now I can just purchase the pieces instead of an entire board. I would recommend the set to anyone interested in Go!P.S. - The product does not come in any kind of game specific casing. The box that mine was delivered in…

Pros
  • The strategic aspects of the game make it an excellent way to build problem-solving skills
Cons
  • The stones may have a slightly different weight or feel than other sets, leading to discomfort during gameplay

Very nice set overall

Bought a $30 dollar set and ended up returning it for this one. I'm glad I got this one instead.-The stones are nice (flat bottom, large)-bamboo board looks handsome and feels very nice, it has 19x19 and 13x13 on the other side. It is much larger than the cheap $30 set I returned-bowls are a nice touch, they complete the set nicely (many other sets don't come with bowls for the stones)Overall impressed with the whole set, vendor seems to have improved the packaging based on older neative…

Pros
  • 3 pounds
Cons
  • The board may not be well-suited for users with limited space available

179 black stones - 2 shortBoard - top line to bottom line = 415mm; left-most line to right-most line = 431mm. Therefore 16mm off square shape, really?Board - one 40mm crack line;Bowl - one cracked on the side

Pros
  • She was particularly Impressed by the wooden tile holders
Cons
  • The board may require special care instructions that could be confusing or difficult to follow

Good set, minor blemishes

The bamboo board had a sort of crack where the bamboo plys had opened on the board on both sides, but it doesn’t affect the board past cosmetics. The black stones chip and reveal white spots. But I love the board. Great for a beginner like me.

Pros
  • Games & Accessories
Cons
  • The stones may be prone to discoloration or fading over time due to exposure to sunlight

Quality Product for my opinion

This should be a five star review, but one of the bowls that came with it was VERY rough on the outside which was in stark contrast to the nice polish on the other bowl. Likewise, the black stones that came with the game were. are. slimy. I'm going to try a few different things to get them to dry out/off, but they are uncomfortable to the touch.That aside, the double-sided board is really nice, the appearance of the everything is high-quality, and I'm glad I made the purchase. Don't let the two

Pros
  • The game promotes a sense of friendly competition and healthy competition between players
Cons
  • The set may be more expensive than other similar products on the market

Disappointed for my opinion

Not securely packaged, board was chipped and scuffed on edges. Long crack in board on on side and splits already beginning in vessels. Not worth the money, we returned it right away.

Pros
  • The game is timeless and never goes out of fashion, making it an excellent investment for your family's game collection
Cons
  • The stones may be difficult to grip or pick up if the user's fingers are wet or sweaty

Go.figure! - my new review

The board and game pieces look nice.it would have been helpful to have directions.I guess that is what the Internet is for.

Pros
  • 361 Real Bakelite Stones: Two natural bamboo wood bowls hold the included 361 single-convex bakelite stones (180 white, 181 black) AKA goishi stones for long lasting game play and fun
Cons
  • The stones may have rough or uneven edges that could scratch the board surface

Good quality especially for the price

The board and bowls were beautifully constructed. The back of the board had the smaller size game area, and the pieces were a good size and very clean.

Pros
  • The game is mentally stimulating and can help improve critical thinking skills
Cons
  • The board may be prone to cracking or warping over time if not properly cared for

Well Made, worth the price if you have a game partner!

Yes! Great looking game! Sadly, I can’t find a soul willing to learn to play it with me. But, that is certainly not a problem with the product. I just don’t seem to have any friends or family willing to expend a few brain cells - I guess? But it is a lovely well made game, worth the cost, and if you purchase it, I hope you get to play it with someone. So far, I’ve made some beautiful mosaic patterns on it! Black and whites of course!

Pros
  • The game is easy to pick up and play, but it is also challenging, so it won't become boring after a few rounds
Cons
  • The set may not be compatible with other Go game sets or expansions

Quality materials for my opinion

5,000 year old game is perfect; bamboo materials are culturally correct and beautiful. They playing stones perfect and the board flips for beginners on one side and advanced the other.

Pros
  • My son received this as a gift and LOVES the quality and durability!
Cons
  • The board may not be large enough to accommodate larger groups of players
