Product Description

Why settle for a small, flimsy Go set on the road? Finally, a portable Go set with a 19x19 board of real quality. The reinforced tube carrier comes with a handy shoulder strap and the set is large enough that you can play the stones without using tweezers or chopsticks. The go board is highly durable. It will bend, twist, do yoga, and always keep its original shape! Simply roll it in the opposite direction it was placed in the travel tube and it will lay perfectly flat. The go stones are magnetic so don't worry about a sneeze, a bump on the car, or airplane turbulence on the plane messing up your game. The board is magnetic too! Stick it to a chalkboard or dry erase board for small group instruction or keep it on your fridge to ponder go problems.

Fantastic Set
This is a fantastic traveling Go set. The carrying case is very sturdy, with a strap that can be adjusted. The strap can be made long enough to go across your body for hands free carrying. The bags for the stones are very nicely made. It is very nice to have a full size board in a traveling set. Both board and stones are magnetic.

Very good set!
Wow, this set is so nice. I expected way less from a traveling set.

The board is magnetic and can be rolled up into the case. When placed on the table, it doesn't curl up one bit. The board is nice and big and easy to use.

The bags are very soft and also fit into the case along with everything else perfectly.

The stones are very magnetic to the board, which is awesome. They don't move around at all even when you shake the board. They are, however, a little smaller than what I'd prefer, and stick to each other when they are in the bags. But other than that, they are fine.

The case is very nice, and has an adjustable strap to fit around all sizes, which is superb.

Overall, this is a PERFECT travel set for the price. If you are in a Go club, and/or like to play outside of your house (coffee shop, friend's house, etc.), this is a perfect set to get. "Go" for it! You won't regret it!

Sturdy, Versatile, Good Quality
Having just started playing the game of Go I wanted a portable set that I could take with me.

This set fits the bill PERFECTLY. Here's the bits...

Board: Flexible plastic game board with a magnetic backing is durable and easy to wipe down. The stones stick quite nicely. You can't quite roll the board up with stones in place, but you CAN pick it up and move it around without dropping stones all over the place for kittens, children and the occasional gremlin to run off with. PLUS!!!! With the board being magnetic, you can attach it to a magnetic whiteboard, fridge, or whatever to use it as a teaching tool. The magnets in the stones are strong enough to hold in place when hung vertically.

Bags and Stones: The bags are nice durable cloth with a drawstring at the top. The drawstring also has a plastic clip on it to prevent the bag from reopening. The stones are about the size of a dime in diameter with a small magnet visible on the bottom. They're very light when held one at a time, but gain a nice solid feel once placed on the magnetized board.

Case: Absolutely perfect. It's a good quality hard-side case (hard plastic tube covered in nylon). The ends (one enclosed, one zippered) are soft. The ONLY drawback on the case is that they skimped on the carry strap. This is easily remedied by finding one you prefer.

Overall, this is a fabulous little set and well worth the money for the Go player on the...well....Go!
