You know the big yellow board with all the black and white pieces? (It's on channel 64 or something like that.) Does anyone know where I can buy one?

Thanks!

I think you can get them direct from Korea Baduk Association. You can also check the advertisements in the monthly Baduk magazine. The magazine is sold just about everywhere.

Be advised the good boards are very expensive.

Where do you play? Most of the time, I play at my church. On my daily walk home from school, though, I stop to watch the retired guys playing in a small park.

I love Baduk (aka Go, aka Igo, aka Weichi). Another good game with some similar elements to it is Game of the Amazons. For that one, I've been using the Korean Chess board (as an 8x9 layout) and Baduk pieces for the arrows.

I bought a small travel sized go board at Bandi & Luni's bookstore at COEX in Seoul.

There are about 1,000,000 grandfathers playing Baduk in Jongno 3-ga station.

I've only played once. That was in Gyeongju where we stayed at a traditional Korean house, and the owner taught us to play. I thought it was a good game and I'd like to buy one and take it home to play it with my dad 'cause I think he'd like a new strategy kind of game. Don't think I've ever seen it in Canada. How much is expensive?
