I own a go board and go stones that I received from YMI. They’re fantastic quality and I recommend the company highly. I’d recommend starting to learn Go with a 9×9 board and then the 13×13 board before trying the full size 19×19 board.

Oh come on. Don’t be so old! Haha. Just so you know, the average game only lasts about 1 hour in Settlers and there are many sites online that allow you to play other people from all around the world. Games are even short online. I really think you’d have fun. Don’t write it off!!!:-)

Nice site – thanks for the links, iMonk and all.

I really want to learn to play mah jongg (Chinese style, not American).

Back off role playing game people. 8 hours of games at my age? Not unless there are several nap breaks.

I actually enjoy chess because most people aren’t any good, the boards are cool, you always improve by playing, there’s no chance element and computers are very helpful. Most games are over in under 50 moves and less than 40 minutes.

Michael, if you want to talk about board games, you need to check out Settlers of Catan, or to the true hardcores….Settlers. It is a fantastic game that requires lots of strategy and a bit of luck. If you play it once, you’ll be hooked for life. My wife and I have literally sat at our dinner table with friends and played for 8 hours straight before. Talk about no life! Check it out though, if you haven’t already. Cheapest place is probably amazon.

YMI is a very good company, they have a very loyal following in the Go community– not many companies import good Go equipment. Personally, I’ve ordered several Go sets and two Mahjong sets from them. I’ve never needed to talk to their customer service dept, but I hear it’s excellent.
