Piecepack and the Holidays

["Electronicwaffle" <electronicwaffle@...>]

I understand that some people have weekly get togethers to play 
games. For my family, we usually play games around the hollidays, 
mainly because that is when we have the time, and are all together. 
In fact, I gave just board games to my extended family for christmas 
2000. (Don't tell them I got the 25%  discount for Wizards of The 
Coast Employees on the 24th of December) My family is more Word 
and 'party' game centered... Crainium, Pictionary, Balderdash, 
Apples to Apples etc. Still I expect some families could get a good 
game of chess or even Risk in as well as other German style games.

Anyhow, I digress. Does piecepack use increase durring the holidays? 
If so, what games are played? What non-piecepack games are played? I 
want to release a game during 'piecepackmas' but not sure as to 
which of the two. (A party game, or a 2 player chess/stratego/shogi 
game) As I stated before, I have both Ideas ready to go, but I know 
they need feedback/imput. After the competiton and the two games, I 
have a few more ideas ready to go.  And if all of this doesn't 
confuse you, think about me, having to sort all of this out, and 
still get around to reviseing Pawnop. and C-Quest.

And Now I know why Coprorations and Bussinesses have Press Releases 
and Public Scheduling Statements.
