Yay for kigo!

This seems to me as a bad idea.  The reason for that is that Reversi uses flat 
chips with to different colors on each side (white and black), while Go uses 
so called "stones" which are oval in shape if you look at them from the side.

A high-quality set of stones have the black stones made of a matte slate and 
the white stones made of clamshell and have a distinct pattern. That's what I 
suggest to try to imitate.  For more info, see
