This full size Go board splits in two and has a clever magnetic strip to fix the two halves together so it will lie totally flat whichever side up you are playing. This makes it a great full size playing board that is easy to store.
Please note, this is the board ONLY. You will also need Go stones to play the game.

The board has a full size playing surface on one side and a half size playing surface on the other. It is nice and heavy and smooth to the touch.
Go is a two player game where black stones compete with white stones. You take turns to place your stones on the empty intersections of a 19×19 go board.
You try to surround a group of stones played by your opponent. When they are completely surrounded they have been captured and you may remove them.
The aim of the game is to control a larger territory than your opponent by placing your own stones so they cannot be captured. But remember once you have placed a stone it cannot moved; this is game of thinking before you act.
The game ends and the score is counted when both players pass on a turn, showing that neither side can increase their territory or reduce their opponent's. |
