Originating from ancient China, the game of Go is known as "Yi" in Chinese and "Go" in the West. This set includes 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces, making a total of 361 single-sided convex Go stones.
The package contains 181 black stones, 180 white stones, two storage boxes, and a foldable board. The boxes are designed with slots to hold them securely, and a metal latch locks the board so that the stones won't spill out. The printing inside the boxes is clear and fade-resistant, with a natural wood color that gives a strong sense of depth and rich texture. The handle strap is comfortable and durable, and the board can be folded for easy carrying.
Each stone has a diameter and thickness of22*9.2mm (0.87*0.26 inches), while the folded board measures 44*23.5*5cm(17.4*9.4*2inches).
The stones are made from sturdy, scratch-resistant melamine, ensuring they are durable and long-lasting. Custom molds are used to create each piece, which goes through various processes to produce smooth, well-shaped stones with a pleasant feel.
Playing Go requires deep thinking, analysis, and prediction, helping to develop logical reasoning, deductive skills, and creativity. It also enhances concentration, attention span, memory retention, patience, perseverance, and strategic thinking by considering both local and global interests on the board.
