I had to run in to Ikea the other day and I found some excellent drawstring bags for my piecepacks. They're called Minnen bags. Here's the catalog page: ...
I have a Crown Royal bag. These are bigger, sturdier, and come in three colours. Also, they don't have a corporate logo on the front. ... -- Ron Hale-Evans...
Mine are in a Crown Royal bag. A friend found that they go for about $0.50 each after shipping (for about 20) on eBay and split an order over several people....

Yes, we recently finished going through and playing all the games. There were 17 entries, if I remember correctly. I'm putting together my notes to make sure...

Thanks Ron, Yah, those look great. I'll definitely be going down to the local Ikea store and picking some up! I may have to come up with some sort of rack to...
This is not exactly related to piecepack, but I want to announce that Mesomorph has recently started selling a new game set called Tapestry, designed by my...
Congratulations, Mike. Tapestry looks awesome, and I've had my eye on it for a while, but I'm probably going to have to wait a couple of months until I write...

I haven't posted here in awhile, but I keep an eye on the list and I particularly enjoy the design contests. I wanted to jump in and run an idea I had past...

It's been almost a month since we last heard from Dave Boyle, "we recently finished going through and playing all the games. There were 17 entries, if I...
It is summer gaming convention season, so I imagine that Dave is away a lot promoting Mesomorph games. The MM website has them at GenCon until Sunday (from...
Bishop the game is a four player chess set with the right colors. I sent an email about 20 days ago with no response on base diameter. Perhaps I will make an...
Brykovian suggested in early 2004 that willing members of the group might participate in a formal or informal piecepack game design workshop (similar to the...

Nice work getting things rolling, Phillip ... I hope to participate within the next couple of days. I have read through Mark's updated rules for the game and...
Thanks for all of your responses to my points, Mark, and thanks for the quick update to your rules!! The new diagrams are great, they make a big difference...
I read the Cell Management 0.7 rules, and compared to the 0.6 rules they were *much* easier to grasp. Where before, I was constantly reviewing, this time...

I agree with Clark. Having tried a couple of games myself, I find the lack of choice makes the "game" rather uninteresting even as a solitaire. The most...
Well, the two-player option was more of an afterthought (I noticed that the game setup used exactly half of the piecepack components and said "Hey, two can...
