Are the stones good enough that there is no immediate need to upgrade when I am ready for a larger board?

Yes, I definitely think the stones are good enough for 13 x 13 and even 19 x 19 boards. Yellow Mountain Imports used to sell a board that was beginner on one side and intermediate on the other side. Since they no longer sell that, I bought this board for my dad. The stones in both sets were exactly the same. I like the quality and feel of the stones, and there are more than enough stones to play the 13 x 13 version of Go. I have not counted the stones, but the description says it contains 361 pieces which is actually enough to play on a full 19 x 19 Go board. Based on the fact that I always have plenty extra when I play on a 13 x 13 board, that seems correct.

Does it come with instructions?

Yes! A small reprint of a classic manual is included which includes sample moves and even short "case studies" which quizzes you on making correct moves.

How many stones come for each color? To my knowledge it doesn't say in the description.

Description states 180 white, 181 black stones.

Does it come in a box?

Only the shipping box but this is a beautiful board. I love mine!
