Here is my large collection of rare boards. feel free to ask me questions about them.
Some of these i will be selling on ebay.com soon. Some of these i will never sell.
A portion of these had belonged to the late "Jay E. Hoff", (my step father, and inventor of Boat-Pente) that i have inherited. (he was a player at this site by the name "jayehoff".)
The boards i inherited shall remain in my collection.
P.s. if you happen to purchase a board from me, my signature on them is optional

Enjoyed viewing your Pente game set "Museum"!(some boards I've never seen). The rare travel(13 lines)small board is interesting- the same size many learn to play "GO" on. I have the "20th Aniversary Edition"(by Decipher games)- the board has warm, earth-toned graphics with strong black grid lines. Also have "Megiddo" (tube/roll-up version). It's ok, but I'm still loyal to Pente. Lately, I've thought of crafting a "faux" white/gray marble Pente board(as marble was the building material of choice in ancient Greece)- perhaps with metalic gold or silver inlaid grid lines. I'm surprised another manufacturer never produced one!
P.S. here are photos of the special Pente "Twentieth Anniversary Edition" by Decipher Games Co. Set comes with four sets of glass gems(clear, black, amber & red)- the large box doubles as a platform for the playing board.
