Hi all. I'm a high-school teacher starting a Go club (well actually we have a chess club that is expanding). We need to get some Gobans. Ideally they would have a 9x9 board on one side and 19x19 on other. Plastic stones. We don't have a lot of $$. Can somebody recommend a package (board & stones) and a reliable place to order from?

If you're in the US, I'd recommend checking with the American Go Foundation at http://agfgo.org/. They provide assistance to schools and such who have or are setting up go programs, and may be able to provide you with boards, stones, etc. |

Very inexpensive go sets are available from GoGameGuru: https://shop.gogameguru.com/cheap-go-game-set/ At around USD 10.00 for a set consisting of board and stones and containers this is hard to beat. On the negative side, some will not like that everything is plastic. The board is a foldable vinyl sheet and the stones and containers are also plastic. Because of the vinyl board it will be necessary to put the board flat on a table top. But it is very inexpensive. |

Expanding on skydyr’s comment … if you are NOT in North America you may want to check with whatever national Go association is yours. The German DGoB for example provided me with a »School Go box” with several 13x13 and 9x9 boards plus the stones when I instructed a regular “School Go Workshop” (extracurricular activity). |
