1. About my interest in the piecepack
I am a would-be game designer, and was drawn to the piecepack concept as I am not very good at designing a game (especially the components) from scratch. The piecepack components provide great inspiration for game mechanics which then sometimes morph into fully fledged games.My first piecepack game, KingArthursCourt , is the one I am fondest of, and PharaohsHeir won the 4th design contest, HistoryRepeatsItself, so I am proudest of that. As the winner of that contest, I was the judge of the 5th contest, SolitaryConfinement.
Sarcophagus has, however, received the most attention recently.
ClarkRodeffer awarded Magistratvm, a game I co-authored with Brad Johnson, the runner-up award for best theme in the 6th design contest GroupProjects.
