Stones that are suitable for sacrifice, for example kikashi stones.

It is a mistake to save such stones at all costs. Of course one doesn't necessarily want to give up any stones. But saving disposable stones is often an incorrect priority, throughout the middle game.


Alternatively, one could use this term for stones that have a temporary existence as Go stones. For example it is possible to play a game with buttons or with M and M's (Smarties) or jelly beans that are eaten after the game. See also Making Your Own Equipment.
