Where is the rest of the error message?  And don't forget to mention
which Python version you're using.

One Python convention which would have helped here is to use capital for
the class name, Board

Another one is to put __init__ first, since that tells us what instance
attributes you'll be using, and how they're initialized.

You've now defined a new local called board, which shadows the class
name board.  Is there a reason you didn't use self.board ?  As it's
presently coded, this method doesn't seem to use any instance attributes.
