Please note that I'm asking on average. Just want an idea before I buy.** A: Games of Go usually take between 175 and 250 moves. This can be quick: in a casual game, players take around 10 seconds per move, making the game last around 30 minutes. I recommend taking a look at a few beginner websites to learn how to play - the rules alone are not quite enough to really enjoy the game, since there are so many possibilities. **Q: Does it have a cheap feel to it? Lightweight, flimsy etc. Or does it have more of a durable, solid feel to it?** A: It's a solid travel set, it's inexpensive and totally worth the money. If you want a nice luxurious set the cough up at least $100 or more and get a proper wooden board with heavy stones that are stone. This is magnetic, with plastic coating, and very good value for what you get. I'm very happy with this set but do very much want a genuine set although I just cannot afford that at this time. For the cost I don't think you will be disappointed, and if you are then you should curb your expectations of a board that cost less than $30 because this is a very good deal, played many a great game on it, magnets work very well.I've always wished for a quality heavy board with small magnets inside each of the intersections and stones made of actual magnetic rock so that the pieces sat perfectly in their positions and never strayed, that would be beautiful and i'd pay $200 easy for such a board if it existed....... rant over, hope it was helpful buddy **Q: Can someone recommend a well fitting case for this set?** A: The board folds up and acts as a case itself, fitting in all the stones in their respective containers. Additionally, the box that comes with the set can protect the folded board. Beyond this, if you wanted to look for a travel bag I can tell you that the board after it is folded will be within (no more than) the rectangular dimensions of 14.75 inch by 7.50 inch by 2.25 inch. **Q: Is this board game 19 x 19?** A: yes, 19x19 magnetic board with plastic stonesit is pretty convenient to play and it is not so heavy at the same time ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works fine for me *by on Reviewed in the United States January 19, 2017* Nice little go set for learning. You probably couldn't do much better for the price, but there are a few signs of cheap. My surface had a few marks out of the box, the sticker isn't -perfectly- aligned. Some of the stones took a little work to get apart, some of the magnets need to pushed back into the slots (where they stayed great once in place), some have fiddly bits of plastic hanging off, but overall nice.Others have said it, but thank goodness for the nice firm snap of the board to hold the stones (the containers themselves don't snap shut, so if the board opened, it'd be chaos). Little slots inside to hold the containers into place so they don't bounce around. The magnets aren't strong enough to make it tough to move them, but stay in place really well when the board is jostled around.Only possible gripe for me is that I wish there was some padding to hold the board in place a little better on surfaces (but you could just throw some moleskin or something on it to the same effect). Also, a little booklet jammed in there with instructions on how to count, the rules, maybe handicap methods, that sort of thing, would bump up the value of this board for me. It's nothing too hard to learn, but I didn't realize I don't remember how to count a physical board until I finished my first game!If you need a nice set, good sound, real stones, any of that, spring for a good set. I just need one to have one, and one I won't feel bad about forgetting in someone elses car or a hotel, so this works great for me.EDIT DEC 2018: bumping this up to 5 stars. This set has bounced around the backset of my car, been crushed under books, put through some crap and still lived. I constantly find stones in my laundry and on the ground and still never run out. I still wish I would have bought a real set, and would still say a person should probably buy a real set as their first set, but I'd be lying if I said this set isn't perfect for what it is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GO game *by on Reviewed in the United States August 4, 2026* Quality made Exactly as advertised. Perfect for game night ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best review for this board. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 23, 2015* I give this product 4 and a half stars.First, the product concept is extraordinary for this price range. Upon opening the box and taking out the go board, I see the folded board and the quality seems very high for a $23 board. The inside of the board has upper and lower groves to keep the plastic containers holding the stones snuggly in place. The board does click closed together but I would have preferred there to be a clasp of some sort to securely keep the board closed even if I decided to toss this board in the back seat of my car or if it were to fall to the ground while I'm driving.The magnetic surface is well made but it scratches easily from the magnets attached to the bottom of the pieces which isn't a big deal for this price point. The board does not lay perfectly flat however and there is a minor separation and rise in the middle of the board where the two pieces meet but it's very minor so you won't notice it unless if you were purposefully looking for imperfections.The stones are probably my biggest complaint. About 15 to 20 percent of the pieces had magnets on them which were not on the pieces perfectly flat. This caused me to have to apply pressure to them one by one in order to have the magnets on correctly. I hate extra work so I found this annoying but at least there is a simple fix. The magnets look snug enough into the prices so that I couldn't imagine them falling out of the pieces.The prices themselves feel a little too small for me and are awkward to hold when placing the stones but for a travel set at this price point it's hard to complain.All in all a great go board for the road or for use at windy outdoor locations. Great for kids as well but would not recommend this board for your main board to use at home because the pieces are too small to hold easily with any kind of satisfying click. ## Frequently Bought Together - Yellow Mountain Imports Large Magnetic 19x19 Go Game Set Board (14.6-Inch) with Single Convex Stones - Folding, Portable, and Travel Ready Set - Go!
