Hi,
I've come to believe the best features of the PiecePack are related to its ability to interact with other generic components. I've thought of ways to maximize that interoperability.
I think these are the features that make (or could make) the Piecepack more modular:
* The size of the tile is exactly that of two dominoes side by side
* 4 Icehouse towers fit on a tile.
* 4 Stacking Counters fit on a tile. Many games that use Icehouse towers can be played using Stacking Counters.
* 4 Regular sized dice (or even a bit larger) fit on a tile.
* Use the Playing Cards symbols. This allows a standard deck of cards to be incorporated in the game. ( for something like the The Sutlers of Kansas, or other Greenbox games, or Ticket to Ride https://boardgamegeek.com/image/1915846/ticket-ride )
* Use colors red, blue, yellow and green. This allows pawns to be used from Sorry! or Mexican Train, or many other of these games: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/19091/red-blue-yellow-green
