Good morning: We have added Hexpack, the piecepack expansion set, at www.bluepantherllc.com. We are offering a discount to folks who have ordered piecepack...
Hi They look very nice, still, I wouldn't call the Hexpack a piecepack expansion, but more a new game system with the same core ideas but with hexagonal...
It is as much an expansion as they piecepack pyramids are. "Hexpack includes 24 hexes (approx 50mm across) only. No dice, disks or pawns are included with the...
In talking with the folks at Hexpack.org at Gencon, they are still working out the exact definition of a standard hexpack set. Until that gets sorted out,...

Hello Peter: The hexpack standard describes a hex as encircling a 2 inch diameter circle (the circle touching the midpoint of each of the six sides). That's...
The Hexpack standard, like Piecepack, is public domain. Mr Dietrich has been very kind to grant us a license to use the JCD graphic set, so we can move the...

Ben: There are two different items here. The first is the piecepack system itself, which is public domain. Anyone can go out and make a set for piecpeack...
Yes, we do plan on doing the playing card suits (set 2) and the 4 seasons (set 3), similar to the piecepack sets we already offer. It's only a matter of...

Yes, all my rules are available freely. You may provide them in commercial sets, given a few reasonable rules, such as not forbidding people to copy your...
