piecepack Games go over 160
With 130 games on the BigBoard at the official piecepack website, 17 entries in the recent MesomorphGames contest and over 20 games in the piecepack Yahoo Groups mailing list rulesets-in-progress file section, there are now more than 160 games for the piecepack either completed or in playtest. And that doesn't even count the GenericAbstracts. Congratulations and thanks to all the game designers that made this possible in the little over 4 years since the first release of the piecepack.
