Physical Arimaa set

This has probably been discussed before and I'm aware it probably isn't financially viable yet, but I see the manufacture and sale of a physical Arimaa board and set vital to the future of the game.
As great a medium for spreading information as the internet is (it is of course the way I and I'm sure most discovered Arimaa) only a very select group of people will ever be reached this way (to put it bluntly: geeks). Whenever I've tried to introduce others using a chess board they find it very difficult to reprogram themselves to call a rook "horse" or a pawn "rabbit" and similarly with movements. Maybe I wasn't a good teacher but certainly I feel that if the same thing were done with a set that looked like a distinctively different game then they might have been more open to learning.
I know when it does happen I'll definitely be buying one!

Thanks, I thought I couldn't possibly be the only one to be thinking this. It's absolutely the right way to go, Arimaa is just too good a game not to get noticed.
