Review on Go Board Game Set With 361 Bakelite Stones - 19X19In Bamboo Wood Go Board And Bowls For 2 Players - Classic Chinese Strategy Game For Beginners by Jenny Mendez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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 should be) but very strong and well made and the lines are embossed. It has the full-sized professional 19x19 inch grid on one one side and a 13x13 inch beginner's (or quick play) grid on the other and this is a real bonus.Overall, this is a very fine board with beautiful bowls and any GO player would be very happy to use them. It's one of the better sets available.

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