Create a go 囲碁 board consisting of a large vertical transparent plexiglass sheet. This should be easy. The stones, preferably translucent, are hung on hooks. But if opaque, you can still see through the gaps between circular stones.
Or, the stones could be magnets, requiring both players to participate (sandwiching the board between two magnets) in making any move. This offers the intriguing possible simple implementation where all the magnets are the same (but flippable), so both players play the same color, from their point of view.
Kind of like the game of Battleship.
Captures need to be executed by the opponent.
The point is the game is merely an excuse for human interaction, so you can constantly see your opponent -- partner? -- through the board, instead of having to look away from them at the board.
This could also be done with many other board games. For chess, it would be similar to upright demonstration boards. But one player will have kings and queens (and long and short castle) reversed.
This could also be done electronically, as a video chat with a game overlay. Perhaps a mobile app.
