Re: [piecepack] Designing my own game for Piecepack

Of course, if you're planning on designing a game to try and enter the contest that was posted, the rules don't require you to use all the elements, only that you don't require outside elements.

      Welcome to the community!



Just like a deck of cards, you are welcome to use as little or as much as

you need for your design. ( Euchre <http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Euchre> only

uses a subset, Spoons <http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Spoons>requires extra

bits, and Canasta <http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Canasta>requires multiple

decks.  )



Some piecepack games use all the elements, others only some, other require

multiple sets, and still others require additional pieces external to the

piecepack.



Have fun,
