WayPonDEV Sipeed Tang Primer 20K GOWIN GW2A FPGA GoAI Development Board Kit Minimum System with DSP LvDs interface and BSRAM Resources onboard 1GB DDR3 and PMIC Running RISC-V Code

While I haven't quite mastered the Linux FPGA build chain, this appears to be a high-quality board with extensive documentation, schematics and more available. It appears to function as intended, and is very likely to support my learning journey for quite a while into the future. The value for the money is incredible, too.

This board works with the open source tools: Yosys, nextpnr-himbaechel, gowin_pack, and flashed with openFPGALoader. The shared video shows it running a MIPS core with a program to flash 2 LEDs built with all open source tools. This is a really beautiful board and looking forward to learning how to interface with the network chip and the RAM.

Excellent starting fpga and shipping was excellent. Packaged safely and no damage

Good if you want to get technical—the expansion board offers a lot of hacking opportunities—but if you’re just looking to mess with existing cores (say, if you want a low-cost MiSTER alternative), the community support on this one is a little weak, with just an outdated NES core available. The main Github projects seem to have abandoned this board in favor of the Nanos and the Megas. So if you just want to screw around with cores rather than learning some low-level FPGA design, get one of those. Too bad. Looked promising.
