In my family, absolutely yes! There are a lot of piecepack games that
play better with 3 or 4 people than with only 2 (our infant daughter
isn't old enough to know not to put the small bits in her mouth yet).

Piecepack games I've played when other family members come to visit
include my own Black Thursday and Slides Of Action, as well as MotoX,
Castle Croquetnole, Coyote Moon, Chariots, Decay, Hanging Gardens and
Sarcophagus. Non-piecepack games I've played with one or more members
of my family in the past year include Rummikub, Go, Backgammon, Risk
(plus One World Dominion), Fluxx, Aquarius, Empire Builder, Dominos,
Unexploded Cow, Button Men, Chinese Checkers, Pokemon Master Trainer,
Chrononauts, Gold Digger, Lost Cities, Froop, Castle Danger, Checkers,
Torres, Settlers of Catan -- the list just goes on and on.

Eric, if you want confidential feedback on any of your games in
development, feel free to e-mail me.
