This should print just fine on a prusa mini or larger. Print 4 of these boards and lay them oiut to make an octogon. Chess starting positions are on the split sides. of the octogon. Print cehss or checkers pieces at .5" in diameter at this scale, otherwise scale your pieces to fit whatever size board you make.
The advantage of this board is that oponnants are exactly the same distance in squares from each other as they would be in two player chess or checkers. Pieces should be printed so that there is one color per player. Rules are the same as with normal chess or checkers although keep in mind that to create this board what has happened is that two boards have been split halfway down the middle and then strtched and warped so that they make an octogon.
In other words, movement in a “straight line” might mean a piece must follow a hyperbolic curve. The only drawback aside from possible movement confusion, is that players opposite each other have a harder time coming intoi contact with each other than a player's immediate neighbor to the left or right. Because of this, it might be a good idea to play in teams of two with each team mate sitting across from each other. See following link for more details
