I've haven't played Othello in a jillion years - going back to the old Husker Du? subliminal message days. Guess I need to change this situation.
I own three vintage OTHELLO boards. (For the love of God, why?)
I have considered Liquid Nails gluing a grid of 64 India Green square 2"x2" ceramic tiles to a cement picnic table in a nearby park and leaving instructions with a pack of black/white cardboard playing disks pieces.
It is a calling.
What stopped me? Couldn't find an acceptable shade of India Green tile.
Probably for the best. Those playing pieces would last about two minutes before kids were hurling them at the ducks.
"Oh, look! Black and white Oreo treats!!!" the ducks thought tragically.
I'm glad you're already familiar. Though you appear to be a lapsed player.

I am confidant the females would love it. 90% to 96% sure.
