Re: Go Coasters
I got some of those as a prize tournament many, many years ago. I don't know where they are anymore but they got a lot of use.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: Go Coasters
Must’ve been other ones (but probably similar) because these are apparently a new thing that a young Japanese woman created with help of some strong amateur player. On her FB page I saw a photo of very similar round coasters (w/o this wooden thing to stack them upon), perhaps she made those some time ago? Or this is where she got the idea from?

Re: Go Coasters
They look identical in form to the ones I had, but probably different problems.

Re: Go Coasters
Got mine in the mail today. Apparently passed customs without a problem. They're very nice and even my wife thinks they're cool.
