As promised by kamikazeking, here are some pictures of the boards we use to play with...
we asked a friend to do them... and it's really very good playing on them, instead of playing online all the time 
this one looks like the real thing:
this one is a "runes" style arimaa:
this one, we really love the wooden board:
hope you like them!

excellent ! Sure, it's really good to play with a real board instead of online ... especially with go  When will Omar make a "tactile" feature

Awesome. I regularly analyze at home on my chess board, which is convenient, but not aesthetically pleasing.

Is your friend taking additional orders? How much per set?
That reminds me to ask: Omar, what sort of licensing terms would you consider for the production and commercial sale of Arimaa sets? I think there is a market for a few dozen boards...

hi Fritzlein... i was very pleased that my friend did this for me... and she asked me if someone out there would ever want something like the ones she did...
she charged me 65 euros for the set with the pieces that look like runes. i didn't think twice as i knew that there's a lot of work involved... and i wouldn't do it myself
And there's no arimaa sets for sale... so... i was very lucky to find someone willing to do them

Wow, real Arimaa sets; cool I've always used a Chess set for OTB games, but I guess a set that looks like the online version would be more appealing.
Being some of the first Arimaa sets ever created I bet these sets will become more valuable over time.

Good point Omar.
Make sure you mark the sets with the date and get the creator to sign them!

Hi.
Would you be willing to give me permission in order to upload the images of the boards at www.boardgamegeek.com ?
