Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 7, Documentation: 2, Utility: 3)

Astrial is an online implementation of the board game Go played on the complex, spherical geometry of a snub dodecahedron with 302 cells, instead of the traditional flat grid. This is interesting because it fundamentally reimagines a classic game's spatial logic and strategy by mapping it onto a non-trivial, uniform polyhedron, creating a novel topological challenge.

Target audience: board game enthusiasts, abstract strategy gamers, mathematicians
