Review: Good starter set - Amazing quality and feel
Review: The ABSOLUTE BEST beginner's set on desertcart - It's a beginner's go board. It is made well out of real wood (I have no idea whether it's actually shin kaya, but it looks nice and appears it won't warp). Everything about the boards is the right size, unlike the smaller boards in the lower-price tier. The stones are light, slippery plastic. Disappointing. But your money is paying for that board. If you are a go learner or looking to get back into it (like me), this is what to get. While it is cheap for a go set, it's obviously very expensive for a board game. That's go. That's the way it is. The West received this game from Japan and with it the (expensive) Japanese aesthetic. There is a similar board on here, bamboo I think, for $30. Don't get that one. Get this one. It is nice and nice to play on. Even if you only play a handful of times before putting it away in a dusty drawer, you'll only be spending a couple bucks extra on each game. If you play a lot, it will simply be worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 9x9/13x13 Go set, but be sure to wash the oils off the stones first
*by G***E on January 8, 2023*

This is an excellent solid-wood Go board for beginners and those who want a quicker game than a 19x19 can provide. The double-convex stones I got are a good size and feel good to hold, but we're rather slick feeling; like there was a thin coat of oil left from manufacturing. Washing the stones in warm, soapy, water took care of the slickness and the stone are good.
