White Yunzi Stones breaking?

Post by WhlteLotus »

Hey guys,

So I have a dilemma.

I'm fairly new to go, got my set of single convex yunzi stones and am quite perturbed by what is happening.

First off, When I got the stones 3 white ones were broken, but none of the black ones were.

Now, as I've been playing with myself and others a few more white stones have broken, stones that were in good condition. They got a crack on the side and then when I placed it on the board, WHACK the piece chips off. Now, place the black ones on the board the same way, but not a single black stone has broken. I've now lost 10 white stones due to this thing and im getting rather upset ;( what should i do? what is going on?

My leaded ones are fine. I get stupider every time I play with them but that is another story.

Seriously I saw something similar. Just snap lightly, no cartoon placement.

contact the manufacturer or the vendor. You can usually obtain replacements.
