My brother bought us one, many years ago. It's long gone, we used to replace missing pieces with cut out circles of construction paper, white and black pasted to one another. We do have a marble checkerboard on the coffee table. Makes me want to create the pieces for othello.
It didn't occur to me that the same board could be used - but that makes a lot of sense.
It seems like this sort of math manipulative would work for game pieces - maybe you have some lying around, or know a retired homeschooler who does : )
(we recently gave ours away!)
