Hi They look very nice, still, I wouldn't call the Hexpack a piecepack expansion, but more a new game system with the same core ideas but with hexagonal pieces. I can't see many piecepack games being playable with a Hexpack without modifications to the rules and combining both systems seems hard, so instead of linking to piecepack.org you may want to link to http://www.hexpack.org/ where rules for this system will be release eventually.

It is as much an expansion as they piecepack pyramids are. "Hexpack includes 24 hexes (approx 50mm across) only. No dice, disks or pawns are included with the Hexpack." The idea is that you can use the hexpack in addition to your existing piecepack in order to create new games. A link to hexpack.org sounds like a good idea to include though. --- In piecepack@..., "Jorge Arroyo" <trozo <at> ...> wrote: > > Hi > > They look very nice, still, I wouldn't call the Hexpack a piecepack > expansion, but more a new game system with the same core ideas but with > hexagonal pieces.

In talking with the folks at Hexpack.org at Gencon, they are still working out the exact definition of a standard hexpack set. Until that gets sorted out, we'll have the big hex part of Hexpack ready to go.

How does the length of one hex side compare to the side of the tiles in the piecepack set? Peter Cobcroft curufea@...

(The direct link to the Hexpack item at Blue Panther's website is <URL:http://www.bluepantherllc.com/Hexpack.htm>.) That page has a broken link: the link to the Hexpack site has a stray comma (‘,’) in the URL. I have one complaint with the Hexpack images: the margin seems too narrow, resulting in a rather small suit graphic in the corners, much like one of the older versions of the (square) JCD standard piecepack. This was solved in later standard JCD Piecepack graphics simply by increasing the width of the hex margin and hence the size of the suit graphic. I'd love for the Hexpack images to do the same, to allow for less squinting(Continue reading)> We are offering a discount to folks who have ordered piecepack from > us before.

That should read “This was solved in later standard JCD Piecepack graphics simply by increasing the width of the tile margin …” since the standard JDC Piecepack images are square, not hexagonal. > I'd love for the Hexpack images to do the same, to allow for less > squinting(Continue reading)
Hello Peter: The hexpack standard describes a hex as encircling a 2 inch diameter circle (the circle touching the midpoint of each of the six sides). That's the way our hexes are sized - essentially two inches across from centerpoint to centerpoint. This means that each individual side is actually less than 2 inches long.

The Hexpack standard, like Piecepack, is public domain. Mr Dietrich has been very kind to grant us a license to use the JCD graphic set, so we can move the graphics and change the size slightly to address the issues. The proprietors of hexpack.org have also been helpful in this regard. Time to get back to that graphics program and make some edits.

The standard playing card suites come to mind. -- -- Kerry Harrison (281-235-0038) Organizer, Katy Gamers (http://www.katygamers.com/) Powered by Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/) ------------------------------------
