For those who love the game of Go, this set offers the ultimate in playing enjoyment. It is the top-notch choice for playing the game with all of the intended visual and acoustic enhancements. The rosewood board is a masterwork of traditional, Asian craftsmanship. The rich luster of the Burma padauk rosewood and the elegant carving make the board a sight to behold. The natural Yunzi stones are finely polished and are competition grade quality.
But perhaps the most enticing aspect of this set is the sound that resonates from the dropping of the stones onto the board. This quintessential Go board sound is produced thanks to the hard consistency of the rosewood board sitting atop the created sound chamber below. This sound is something that only more elaborate Go sets with an elevated, hardwood board can produce.
The object of the same is quite simple: occupy as much territory on the board as possible and capture your opponent's stones by encircling them. As simple at that might seem, to become a master of the game takes learning and many years of practice. This set includes a beginner's guidebook to help the novice player embark on a lifelong journey of enjoyment, appreciation and mastery of the game of Go.
