Re: [piecepack] Dr. Mike's Rush Hour

["Jorge Arroyo" <trozo@...>]

Hi,

I think the easiest is to use felt surface to play on (like the card
tables). But I think it won't solve the problem completely. Another option
is to make a frame. The game Viktory II uses a clever puzzle like frame that
can adapt to many sizes to keep the tiles from moving. See:
http://www.viktorygame.com/ maybe a similar system could be built adapted to
the size of the piecepack pieces...

Cheers,
