This is the third VentureBoard I've purchased and likely not the last when the next one drops!!!
My search is finally over - I was looking everywhere for a Go board that does exactly what this Go board does - it is incredibly portable and elegantly made - the color scheme of the board is incredible - the black and orange really looks sharp and the pieces are well made and stays in place.
If you are looking a physical practice board that will completely save your work this board is for you - if you are looking to have a small Go board that you can take on a hike with you so you could play on a scenic vista, this is the Go board is for you!
It’s great for what it is! A 9 by 9 board I can take with me to practice or whenever I get bored. The magnets are solid and the pieces do stay on the board during travel. I have noticed when you stack them to the side they can sometimes move or connect to each other weird, but I haven’t encountered anything when they’re stacked one high on the actual board. The noice is also really nice for a magnetic Go set in my opinion, it doesn’t replace a regular board and stones but for travel it’s worth it!
I bought this simple travel board for the work office for quick games. The only thing I don't love about this is the background color being darker than the lines. Typically in Go the lines are dark with a light background, which helps visualize the pieces. If this were made with the covers inverted (like the checker board) this would be 5 stars from me.
I love this travel Go set. Super convenient and compact. My only complaint is that the colors aren’t as vibrant as the picture and the colors make it more difficult to see the lines. If the background was the lighter color and the lines were dark it would make a better contrast (like the checkers set).
