Although we had about ten playtesters for Epic Funhouse, Mer tested it
more than anyone else did.  She's a good playtester.

They are, aren't they?  Have you read this page yet?

That would be great, Mer.  It would also be great to copy your
comments to the pages for those games on the Piecepack Wiki.  If you
don't want to mess with the wiki, I have already volunteered to copy
reviews and comments from the list to the wiki for anyone who gives me
permission to do so.

In general, the more reviews out there, the better.  This is a place
where the wiki can supplement the official site, Piecepack.org, in an
important way.

Was it Cardinal Enterprises?  I thought it was Woodworks Ltd..  In any
case, Marty and I have ordered from the latter and can endorse it as
well.

After the Seattle Cosmic order, Marty and I now have enough wooden
bits to make lots and lots of piecepacks.  I think my next homemade
piecepack project will be to make a JCD Piecepack with transparent
sticker sheets and our wooden bits.
