This Go board is made from high quality wood veneer to match the golden-tinged Kaya tree of which the very best Gobans are made. The board size does not require a large space on which to play. The surface features 19 horizontal and 19 vertical lines that form 361 points of intersection with 324 squares. The sleek design makes this Go game a perfect decorative piece that will attract players when left out as a coffee table center piece. Also folds up for easy storage. The high quality plastic stones are double convex making them easier to pick up and enjoyable for play. Go, an ancient game of Chinese origin, rewards patience and concentration. The shifting balance of territory and power can unnerve even the most disciplined and intellectual player.
