That might be worth doing just to see if there's a way to fit it onto a
single A3 sheet.  Thanks for the idea.

You should be able to get it all on one sheet with about a quarter
inch margin.  (Which is small, but doable.)  If you used American
sized 11x17 paper you'd get a half inch margin.

The other option (closer to the hemicube configuration) would be two
pages like this:

-----\
---\  \
-\  \  \
 |  |  |
-[ ][ ][ ]-----\
-[ ][ ][ ]---\  \
-[ ][ ][ ]-\  \  \
 |  |  |   |  |  |
-[ ][ ][ ]-[ ][ ][ ]->
-[ ][ ][ ]-[ ][ ][ ]->

---/  /   /  /  /
-----/   /  /  /
       /  /  /
-------/  /  /
---------/  /
-----------/

stuck together (the second one being rotated 180 degrees and placed to
the left).

This also might be fun to play five players and just restrict hop to
the empty space.  That ruins the six player aspect, but keeps all the
actions in play (and doesn't require a sixth color of board).
