Wooden Magnetic Go Board?

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Wooden Magnetic Go Board?

Post by WhlteLotus »

Hi all,

I'm looking for a magnetic go board but I don't want something made of plastic. IS there anything out there that is made of wood that is also magnetic?

Also, are there any magnetic stones on the market that aren't made of plastic?

Hi WhiteLotus,

Are you looking for a (small) travel set, or is this for home use ?

Hi WhiteLotus,

It seems likely most magnetic stones are metal or plastic...
But good luck. :)

Hi WhiteLotus,
I know that there are some magnetic wooden chessboards, but never seen a magnetic wooden goban.
If in the end you find something I am interested ;-)

I have one, but the stones are plastic. Obviously the surface is metal to be magnetic, but the board itself is wood and folds to hold the stones. No idea now where I got it as I have had it for over 30 years. I have a feeling someone gave it to me. But it does show that they exist.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
