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.

Compendia says, 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. |
