Editing QuarterPack

* A "quarterpack" is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripped_deck "stripped" aka "short"] piecepack deck comprised of just the six tiles, six coins, die, and pawn of a single suit. * The name was coined by ["Tim Schutz"] who designed the game ["which coin"] for it. * A quarterpack will likely fit into a small tin box such as an "Altoids" tin (assuming the piecepack components are not larger than the "usual" sizes). * It may be preferable to use a non-moons suit so the "suited" and "unsuited" sides of the tiles and coins are quite visually distinct. * Largest rectangular board supported by 6 tile backs is 9 x 6 (using the "points" of the tiles with ["Xiangqi"]-style "rivers" separating every tile from each other). == The Games == * ["which coin"] was invented for the quarterpack. * ConsensusFantasy is playable with a quarterpack. Some of the other role-playing games [https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/b7du09/rpg_systems_that_use_a_single_d6_for_resolution/ that use only a single d6 for resolution] could also probably be adapted somehow. * By using four **unsuited** pieces (i.e. coin faces) versus four **suited** pieces (two coin backs, one die, and one pawn) it is possible to adapt ["Quatri"] and ["JulGonu"] to the quarterpack * ChangeChange can be adopted for the quarterpack as well (four tile backs, four coin backs, two coin faces, one pawn all as different ChangeChange "coins"). * The asymmetrical number of pieces in the quarterpack (6 coins versus 1 pawn) may suggest a mini "Tafl" game or "Fox" game it is not clear what mini variants (if any) already exist. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_games#Fox_and_Hounds Fox and Hounds] only needs 5 pieces but uses an 8x8 board.
