WE Games Go Game Set 12 Inch - Traditional Go Set with Pull-Out Storage Drawers, Portable Wood Veneer Goban, Strategy Board Games for Adults, Go Board Game

This is a decent little Go board, but it isn't anything special. The board is durably constructed, but the painted on lines may eventually fade over time if the board is used extensively. The trays on either side are adequate for holding the pieces (which were included with the board). My only real complaint about this board is the pieces are functional but they are pretty cheap, but for the price I really shouldn't be complaining. It would have been nice if the trays had latches to keep them shut during transport. The true Go aficionado will probably turn his/her nose down at this product (some Go boards are nothing short of being considered works of art), but if you are a casual player or are just starting the hobby this is an excellent buy to get you started.

Love the design and it's made well. We love how it has the drawers to store the pieces. The game itself might be a little difficult with those having dexterity issues, neuropathy, or fat fingers as the white and black pieces are light weight and small. A lot of rules. We had to watch some online videos and download a game where you play the computer to understand. I can see where they recommend a smaller game board with less blocks helpful for those just learning. Yes, the videos and download may seem excessive but we are determined and love strategy games.

Amazing quality and craftsmanship. For the price it’s a steal!

Good quality board and drawers. That goes a long way towards the 4 star rating. It is smaller than the traditional set but I wanted something smaller and fairly inexpensive to help teach my kids the game. I like that drawers are attached and the bottom of the board is sealed so pieces don't leak out of the bottom either if it's turned upside down by accident. The loss of a star is because of the plastic pieces. They're fine and allow you to play but they're pretty cheap feeling plastic and smaller than I expected, which makes it a little harder for adult fingers without longer fingernails to pick up and place. My kids have no problem though. Yes, they have to be smaller to fit on the board but maybe a higher quality plastic and some more girth to it would make it better? That said, it's more than adequate for the price and its purpose, so don't let that detract you if you're looking for something inexpensive like this to have around the house and won't be too upset if it gets abused a bit.

Great and rather nicely constructed - for the cost. No big deal, manufactures box said "Instructions Enclosed" but there were none. Not sure if that was instructions on playing GO or instructions on pulling open the drawers. It is a rather nice board for the beginner, at what I think is a very reasonable price.

Great product.

It certainly does get the job done. I just purchased this exact set last week, it's my first time playing it ever, and I'm already in love with the game. That being said, there is certainly room for improvement. The wood looks nice, but is in fact quite easily broken, my shelves lost their poorly attached hinges into the boarded upon arrival. It still works fine, but it leaves me wanting more. This set comes with 180 white and black "stones" but there should actually be 181 black to fill out the 361 intersections on the board. Also, a MAJOR flaw in the design, is that if you don't bag the stones within the shelves between playing, the stones can slip out of the shelves and get stuck in the hollow of the board. This is simply a 12x12 inch block of wood with a grid and flawed shelving (Good for beginners, but I'd opt for something more if you intend to take pride in your playing experiences). P.S. The grid is also too small and allows very little space between stones, so when removing them, you have no space to put your fingers without disrupting the stones around them. And the instruction pamphlet inside, hardly covers all that should be known before starting as a first time player.

Amazing set to play Go! Just like the anime Hunter X Hunter or tv shows like Quien gobierna el mundo? Or Cautivar al Rey.

I was so happy Wonderful

interesting

Amazing board, good pieces, great buy. All these people talking about "small pieces" and "drawer gets stuck" are too picky. This is not a premium board, it is a really good starter board that -- being a 19x19 -- can be used for a complete GO experience. The pieces are smaller than standard, and plastic, and the board is made of lower quality than a "nice" board would be, but it is still an amazing buy.. Want to get into GO but don't want to be constrained to a 9x9 or 13x13? This board is a really good starting place. I personally think the quality is good, sturdy board, and the pieces are good. I will be buying a nicer ~200$ board at some point with nice pieces, but not until I get familiar with the game and want a better experience.

Llego dañado por el transportista. Una lástima que no se traten bien los productos que pesan, porque es un tablero muy bonito y de calidad. Pero me ha tocado devolverlo.

For the price, this is a quite nice little go board. There's nowhere to put the captured stones so that doesn't really make sense. And drawers aren't optimal for getting flat stones out of obviously. Printing is ok. I think there's maybe like a slightly smudged line on it at one point but nothing that is too noticeable. A little wobbly and awkward with the drawers open. The instructions how to play are nonsensical.
