Different go board aesthetic designs, museum, gallery

Hello,
I just got my stones and I want to make a board for them. Sometime ago I saw an ancient video in YouTube where the game of go was explained, in that video there was a go board I liked very much. Sadly I can not find that video again. The board had lines but those lines didn’t cross each other all the time. The crosses were suggested.

My question is, Anybody knows a kind of archive of online museum with go boards?

Maybe some of the intersections were worn off from use?

Probably that’s the reason

Well, you still can design and build a board without crossing lines.
New but looks like used a lot. Nothing wrong with that.

Yes, I already started to sketch one. Still I am not satisfied, needs some more work. I am now thinking that a combination of lines and points could work

Yeah, on a board I’d definitely miss the lines more than the intersections.

How about this?

What about playing on an inverted color grid?

Stones can be played on the “dark spots”

That first one …

is quite awesome, art-wise, but I think on Go board it would drive me crazy :smiley:

I have those stones.
The board should be quite simple to reproduce.
