Japanese Go Board Game Goban w/ Box

This is a vintage Goban, or go board, used to play the popular strategy board game Igo, or Go. Foldable and with its original box, this 19x19 grid portable game board in a light brown color is perfect for storing in small spaces and playing Go on the go.
Black and white stones are used as game pieces by two players. By placing the stones on the intersections of lines on a go board, the goal of the game is to section off a larger portion of the board as the other player.
