Shin Kaya 1.6-Inch Reversible 19x19 / 13x13 Go Game Set Board with Double Convex Yunzi Stones and Jujube Wood Bowls - Classic Strategy Board Game (Baduk/Weiqi)

Well packed (double layer corrugated from YMI inside a larger Amazon box). Came with extras of both black and white stones and none were chipped or cracked. Shin Kaya board was as advertised, no significant blemishes or chips.The bag for the board is felt and fits well. It does not have any handles or straps so if you want to travel with the set I would suggest sourcing another bag at minimum. The board is also very heavy and not really meant to be hauled around (obviously).It's a nice set and I look forward to playing with it.

First off, it's reversible, so you can play a full game on the 19x19 side or a quicker one on the 13x13. Perfect for learning or when you don't have a ton of time.The Shin Kaya wood looks and feels amazing. It's smooth, sturdy, and has this awesome grain that makes each board unique. You can tell this thing is built to last.Just a heads up, you'll need to grab stones and bowls separately. But that's actually kind of cool because you can pick out ones that you really like.If you're looking for a Go board that's both beautiful and functional, definitely check this one out. It's a great way to experience this awesome game!

I ordered this set knowing that it was expensively priced because I decided to get myself a nice set for the holidays. I received a nice set and I'm happy hearing the thunk of the yunzi stones on the shin kaya board - need to wait and see how the wood behaves in the long run but so far it has been a pleasure!When cleaning the stones I realized that there were a dozen or more missing. I know that it doesn't really matter in practice but I would have liked to own a complete set. So, more in hope than expecting a positive response, I emailed customer support about it. They asked if I wanted to return and ask for a refund but I said I was happy to keep the set if it wasn't going to be possible to get only a dozen stones.I thought that was that but, I was pleasantly surprised when they emailed me a couple of weeks later and said that they would ship just the 15 missing stones from their Shanghai warehouse. I think these small details and initiative show a company's commitment to their customers than flashy stuff. I'd be happy to shop with them again - only I hope the prices on some of these higher-end products go back to pre-Covid levels!

The game of Go deserves an elegant environment, and this set provides that at a reasonable cost. The board and pieces both look and feel good, being made from high quality materials and evidencing good craftsmanship.The storage bowls are well crafted, as well. The ability to pack up the gear in durable cases (one for the board, and another for the pieces) is a pleasant bonus.I highly recommend this set.

Very disappointed with the item. Cheaply made. Board is hollow plastic. Returning it.

I could tell immediately this was high quality. It was packaged well, the stones were actual stones, not plastic discs. The little pots to keep the stones in are beautiful, with excellent texture. the board is great and made of real wood. It's nice enough that I want to keep it on display.

The media could not be loaded. Unlike The Boeing 737 Max, this is quality at its finest. But I digress. If you enjoy being unwired time to time, having a wood Go board and stone pieces is the ultimate disconnect from the internet. This board set enhances the move into the zone with its esthetic and quality build. May you find.your Divine Move!

Loved the quality of the board and the yunzi stones. It was packaged well.However, there were 2 black broken yunzi stones when we first inspected it. We did count the stones just in case it was missing. There were 188 black yunzis including the 2 broken ones. The games needs 181.
