Hi, Randy, and welcome.

I don't know if you remember, but I have played RBP over at 
aboutboardgames - and I think it would be a great addition to the 
piecepack games.

Aside from the mechanic of programmed simultaneous 
movement, I don't think RBP is at all like Mark's games. The 
great thing is that all the coins have a pip which can act as the 
direction marker of the BP.

One thing that might be fun is to create different terrain using the 
piecepack tiles (different shapes, possible different types of 
obstacles, who knows).

Looking forward to seeing how RBP translates to the 'pack.
