Re: JCD Piecepack Orders from Blue Panther LLC - Update

[steve@...]

Good morning: 

Good to hear that the birch JCD piecepacks have started arriving. 

One thing to note - the birch set tiles are thinner than the oak set tiles.  
But they are quite durable - I have a demo version of Blue Panther's first 
game with the same birch tiles that has survived over 100 plays - the 
rulebook does not look nearly as good  :-) 

We cut the birch tiles ourselves, while the oak tiles arrive "pre-cut".  
That's also one of the reasons why the oak version is a little more 
expensive.
