A sensible starting point for anyone taking up go, and a tidy set for a small table or for taking along to a club night.
Key details:
- Flat beech go board with a 9x9 playing area
- 8.5mm ceramic stones, 45 black and 45 white
- Two lidded woven go stone containers
- Medium and large versions of this set are also available
Players take turns placing a stone on an intersection, surrounding empty space and cutting off the opponent's groups. On a 9x9 board a game runs short enough to fit into a lunch break, which is exactly why it is the board most people learn on.
