FREE: 12" Folding Chinese GO Game

The listing, 12" Folding Chinese GO Game has ended.

This Go set includes a 12" x 6" folding wood game board (becomes a storage case when folded), plastic stones with 2 cloth bags. Go involves two players taking turns laying stones on a 19x19 (or smaller) grid of intersections. But once its basic rules are understood, Go shows itself to be (from a novice's point of view) one of the most elegant brain-burning abstract games in history, with players trying to claim territory by walling off sections of the board and surrounding each other's stones. The game doesn't end until the board fills up, or, more often, when both players agree to end it, at which time whoever controls the most territory wins.

Bought this set for my son many years ago, he never really played it. It's in great shape, looks new. Stopped counting after 150 black game pieces, there were more, and I believe there are an equal number of white pieces. Photo shows them loose but they will come in drawstring bags.
