Hi Dale,
We will eventually support cylindrical, toroidal and projective boards (e.g. Projex).
I'm thinking that a nice way to visualise them might be something along the lines of your option 4), but with the main board shown normally and surrounded by ghosted copies drawn at each board side (and possibly corner) at say 25% opacity.
Only half of the ghosted boards would be drawn but that should hopefully show the necessary information.
Surakarta already does something similar -- the corner sites project back to themselves in loops -- but that's a specific mechanism for this game.
Regards,
Cameron
