General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Printable (Paper) Gobans

Post by FuriousGeorge »

I created these PDFs to full size (according to http://senseis.xmp.net/?EquipmentDimensions) so that I could easily print and play several games with friends, coworkers and family.

The smaller boards may not be EXACTLY the right dimensions, but they're based off the 19x19. They're built for standard sized stones (22.1mm white and slightly larger for black)

9x9 = 203.31 mm x 218.39 mm or 8.0044in x 8.5981 in
13x13 = 290.76mm x 312.3 mm or 11.45 in x 12.3 in
19x19 = 424.2 mm x 454.5 mm or 16.7 in x 17.89in

The 9x9 easily prints off on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper in the US (should fit on an A3 elsewhere) and I printed several, used spray adhesive and chipboard to make several super-cheap 9x9 for introductory and quick games.

I haven't printed or assembled the larger sizes yet, but they would either require large paper or require splitting into several sheets and assembling after print.

I've also made several non-standard sizes (5x5 and 7x7 for Atari Go) and variations with grid only (no texture). If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll upload those too.

If any one needs anything split and specially sized, I can also help with that.

I realized I never uploaded the 5x5. I found the small size to be helpful when explaining the rules and for little ones to play with. It makes the games VERY quick, and Black has a huge advantage going first.

If you could upload the 5x5 without texture and the 7x7 both with and without texture, I'd appreciate it. This is exactly what I was looking for (and I figured would be much easier to find).
