Japanese Go Board Game Goban w/Wooden Cover

This is a vintage Goban, or go board, used to play the popular strategy board game Igo, or Go. This sturdy 19×19 grid game board in a medium brown wood color with a gorgeous clear lacquer finish rests on 4 removable legs, creating a small table that is typically used on the floor. Two sides are lacquered a slick black. It comes with a wooden protective cover.
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.
