I don't have the money to buy a very expensive set of shell and slate stones, so I purchased these. So far, I have been happy with them. They are a decent set of glass stones; they make a nice sound on the board and feel okay in the hand. I really enjoy go, but my husband doesn't. Of course you can use the set to play gomoku (connect 5) or othello.

I payed almost $10 more for my first set of Go stones from a local game shop and those didn't nearly have the quality that these do. These stones are all very uniform in shape in size, the white stones are polished to be slightly glossy while the black stones have a flat finish to them that makes them look like slate. They feel good in the hand and don't seem all that much different than some of my friends' deluxe stones. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for their first set of Go stones or someone who's looking for a set to take with them to friends' houses.

These are excellent. They have a good weight to them. The white stones are smooth and the black stones are matt.
