On games that use Pp stashes, my game Taxicab (on the web site)
alocates the pawn, die, blank tie and blank coin of a color to each
player for thier exclusive use during the game. A kind of partial
stash.  The remainder of the tiles and coins though are used
jointly by all players.

What would be really nice would be a mwthod of doing stashes where the
suit symbol and color are customizable by the stashes owner.
