Hi

The printed rulebook for all games on the website would be 
enormous, and unfortunately not very practical or cheap.

I think a set of rules of a few to several games would be good as 
an introductory pamphlet to accompany the 'pack.

I think it would work best if the games selected were to a) be 
enjoyable  b) have short well-written rules  c) make use of just 
the piecepack (possibly allowing for minor components like a 
cup, coins, piece of string).

I plan on taking a brief look at all the game on the CD to see 
which fit the requirements of b) and c) as they are objective 
categories.  Once I have done this I will make a list of those 
which I think also fit into a) - of course this is subjective.
