Beginner Bamboo Go Board Set | 361 Jade-Style Stones

A Full 361-Stone Set — No Compromises
Every set ships with a complete 19x19 tournament count: 180 black stones and 181 white stones. That's the exact count you need to play a full board without running short mid-game — something cheaper "starter" sets often skip.

Jade-Style Stones That Actually Feel Like Something
The stones are cast in a thickened, jade-style composite — not thin plastic discs. At 2.2cm in diameter and 0.5cm thick, they have real heft in the hand, a smooth "click" on the board, and a cool, polished surface that mimics genuine jade. They resist chipping and scratching, so they hold up to daily practice games, not just display.

Real Bamboo Board, Laser-Etched for Precision
The 2.0cm-thick bamboo board isn't a printed veneer — it's solid bamboo with a laser-etched 19x19 grid. Laser etching keeps every line crisp and consistent (no smudged ink lines that fade with wear), while the natural bamboo grain gives each board a slightly different, one-of-a-kind look. The soft, warm tone is easy on the eyes during long study sessions.

Three Canister Styles, One Set
Pick the canister that matches your taste:

• Solid bamboo canisters (14 x 9.5cm) — classic, understated wood grain
• Faux bamboo-weave black & white canisters (14 x 9cm) — a two-tone woven look
• Faux bamboo-weave yellow canisters (14 x 9cm) — warmer, vintage tone

All three keep stones organized, protected, and easy to find your color at a glance.

Built With Beginners in Mind
Whether you're learning Go for the first time, teaching a child the game, or getting back into it after years away, this set is priced and built for regular practice — not precious enough to be afraid of it, but solid enough that it won't feel like a toy.

Specifications

FAQ

What is the Go board made of?
The board is solid bamboo, 2.0cm thick, with the 19x19 playing grid laser-etched directly into the surface for a clean, long-lasting line pattern that won't fade or rub off.

How many stones are included, and is that enough for a full game?
Yes — you get a complete set of 361 stones (180 black, 181 white), which matches the standard count needed for a full 19x19 game, so you'll never come up short mid-match.

Are the stones real jade?
No, the stones are made from a thickened imitation-jade composite. They're designed to replicate the smooth, cool feel and polished look of genuine jade at a fraction of the cost, while still being durable enough for daily use.

What's the difference between the three canister options?
It's purely a style choice. You can choose a solid bamboo canister, a faux bamboo-weave canister in black & white, or a faux bamboo-weave canister in yellow — all three hold and protect your stones equally well.

Is this set good for someone who has never played Go before?
Yes. It's designed as a beginner-friendly set — durable enough to handle a learning curve, with clearly etched lines that make it easy to follow moves, and stones sized comfortably for less experienced hands.

How do I care for the bamboo board?
Wipe it down with a dry or barely damp cloth after use, and keep it out of direct sunlight and away from standing moisture. Avoid soaking the board, as excess water can warp bamboo over time.

What are the exact package dimensions, for shipping/storage planning?
The full set packs down to 44 x 47 x 2cm.
