PiecepackAdventCalendar

The Italian gaming website Giochi sul nostro tavolo (Games on Our Table) is creating a piecepack Advent calendar for 2018. They show their readers how to make their own piecepacks, and then behind each window of the online calendar, they place a free piecepack game. (In 2017, they made a similar calendar for Decktet.) Google Translate functionality is built into the website.
