Placing stones inside the geometric shapes? What devilry is this? |

Every hexagonal board I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot, has the stones inside the cells. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but it's a de facto standard.Btw, this is the maker: Paul Staley, Specialty Woodworks, Mountain View, CA http://www.custommade.com/by/specialtywoodworks/ |

This board would be excellent for a nameles game that I invented in 1992 or 1993 (I forgot the exact date; I used to call it "gamax", because I found "yet another hexagonal board game" too long). The rules are quite simple. The game starts with an empty board except for the center field which contains a red stone. Then blue and red make a move alternately. One move means to play two stones of one's own color on two empty fields. The one who first creates a regular hexagon wins. In the example below blue wins (see the yellow fields: these fields form a regular hexagon).  Of course you can also play it with black and white stones

If you wanted to play on the intersection while maintaining the same grid function, you would need to have it triangle tiled, like this:  But that would, IMO, have a rather dense look. The hexagons are cleaner. |

Sometimes base 8 is used, but... it's etched in wood. |
