Hey, the Icehouse folks build giant Icehouse sets to play with, right?
http://icehousegames.org/wiki/?title=Giant_pieces
Why not giant piecepacks?
Let's assume we want to build them to the same scale in case we want
to play a giant game of Alien City or something. Giant Icehouse pieces
are 8x. The Piecepack Anatomy page
<http://www.piecepack.org/Anatomy.html> reads,
"As a point of reference, (not a requirement), the Mesomorph piecepack
pieces are the following dimensions: tiles are 2" x 2" x 1/4", coins
are 3/4" diameter x 1/8", dice are 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2", and pawns are
5/8" diameter x 1-1/8" tall."
That means a Giant Piecepack would have the following dimensions:
Tiles: 16" x 16" x 2"
Coins: 6" x 1"
Dice: 4" x 4" x 4"
Pawns: 5" diam x 9" tall
I'm planning to attend Penguicon <http://penguicon.org/> in April.
Clark, do you think one of these sets would interest other attendees?
