I have to admit to some bias as one of the contributors to Abstract 
Games Magazine, but I think it's an excellent source of: rules for 
out-of-print or little-known games, strategy and analysis articles, 
and reviews of current games. The game rules will probably appeal to 
the do-it-yourself sensibility of the piecepack community. I'm 
particularly fond of the Pagode set I made (issue 13) and my Akron 
set (issue 14).

The magazine's website has the editorial and the complete text of an 
article from each issue. Issue 16 was recently published, but hasn't 
been added to the website yet.

The website is:

Sample articles and editorials can be found at:

(Previous issues are listed at the bottom of the page.)

Subscription information is also available on the website.
