Here is my latest version of the board. I have added more connecting lines between arrows. These eliminate the problem of optical illusions without resorting to texturizing the board. They give each space a specific shape that helps define the terrain of the board. This allows for a board with simple colors and good contrast. I have also eliminated the lines between spaces, which are important only for a monochrome board, such as the ones Michael originally made. I will be using this board as a template for textured boards, since such boards still look nice and work better with certain piece sets.
