Magnetic Grid Board

The Magnetic Grid Board can quickly change size and shape, easily break down, and can reflect any grid pattern. The board consists of individual squares that are different colors on each side and connect together with either standard OpenLock connectors or magnetic clips.

The key features of the board:

The size of the board can easily change depending on the game.

For example, a 5x5 board for Tak or Santorini, a 6x6 board for The Duke, or even a 10x10 board for playing amazons.

The pieces can flip to change the grid pattern.

For example, in Arimaa there are four pit spaces while the rest of the board is the same. The brown tiles pictured were printed with a wood filament that was then stained with different colors on each side. The black and white tiles were printed with a filament swap halfway through to create the dual-color look.

The board is both sturdy and easy to re-configure.

The board can be held together with standard openlock clips for a rigid structure or with magnetic clips.

While the debate between grid boards and hex boards has raged on since the beginning of gaming, you can now get the best of both worlds by combining the magnetic hex board with the magnetic grid board.
