Product Description

A perfect travel set for the road or at a coffee shop. Very portable and very magnetic. You won't have to worry about an 'accidental' bump shifting all your pieces and messing up your game when you are clearly winning. This set folds up nicely with the magnetic stones safely sealed inside two bowls.

The product is pretty much exactly what the name says:

1. A Go Board
2. Its portable, (it can fold up)
3. Go Stones are magnetic
4. Two plastic jars for the stones are also included (can be put inside goban)
5. Perfect for playing in the car, bus, plane etc. all most anywhere

A recommended buy for all Go Enthusiasts not wanting to spend lots of money on big Gobans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy Enough, Good Price, February 28, 2008

I ordered this so that I could play Go against a real person face-to-face, particularly for a lengthy trip to the East Coast coming up. The game shipped quickly and is rather sturdy. The two plastic trays the stones come in help keep things organized, and are a definite improvement over the plastic bags that come with cheaper portable games. There was no rule book, but I ordered a Go Guide before I ordered the board anyway. Best of all, the price was very fair. Overall a good product for anyone that likes strategy games, and has someone to play them with on long trips or at home.

The only knock I have is that the lids on the little bowls come off easily, so you want to be careful opening the board. It closes well enough that it (the board) doesn't pop open easily, but you generally will want to carry it in something. It's a fine little full (19 x 19) Go board. If you think you might want it you probably do. It's hard to beat it at this price.
