LTB ING Go Stones

Post by Koosh »

ING Go Stones (with our without the fancy geometric bowl that sorts and counts the total stone count) are some of my favorite stones to play with. The stone thickness, the weight, and the way they sit on the board, I like all of these areas. They don't easily break either.

I understand that Yutopian Enterprises used to sell them, but they shut down in 2019. Does anyone know where I can buy a new set of ING Go stones? I'm also open to purchasing a used set if someone has one that they want to get rid of. I had a set as a teenager but they've since disappeared.

If there is a place where these sets can be purchased new, please post a link here, and thank you!

If you are in the United States and have a set you can part with, please send a message. Thanks!
Ko is the best solution.

Since 2018 I have been storing 7 sets of Ing stones/bowls in my loft for
the BGA as loan stock but they are no longer required for this purpose.

If anyone wants any of the sets, you can have them for the cost of
postage and packing. The rest will be going to the recycling centre.
Contact me if interested.


The stones are plastic-coated and are quite heavy (~3.5kg per set).
Note that there is a possibility that they contain lead.

If you were at Trigantius a few weeks ago, you may seen or have played on
some identical sets that were there (the ones with the hexagonal bowls
with push-out insert).
