Anything more expensive and broken or damaged stones can start to become very painful, but light plastic or thin ceramic has always been a bit annoying to me.

The featherweight board is really a great thing and so long as you aren’t traveling in a rugged way, which will accelerate the rate at which glass stones chip, the bento box is extremely compact and probably the best solution out there for clubs with an equipment locker and for tournament directors who may find that they have to pull out a few extra sets for those who didn’t bring any.Īlthough I would look favorably on a cheap line of bakelite stones or ing stones as a portable standard since these would have durability and heft, the best stones for all-terrain play and for introducing new players to the game is cheap glass (as in the bento box) or yunzi. Gogameguru has comparatively expensive equipment due to the emphasis on goods manufactured for the korean market and some other markup, but they’ve worked hard with producers to get a standard of portability that is a nice balance of cost, niceness, and durability. See, if you are aiming for a portable set of the non-wood category and intend to use standard size stones, then why pay $15+shipping for a vinyl mat that is more bulky and likely to be subject to wear in a work bag or whatever, when you could spend $5+shipping for a much less bulky, more shippable go board that will store easily when tucked into your stone containers and which will expose the hardness of whatever surface you place it on (a virtue, in my opinion).



Found exactly what I want but they won’t ship to Canada
