Hi Kisa,

   I don't know of any cooperative piecepack games existing right now. I did mention the category in a posting I made some time ago discussing possible categories, themes, etc., in connection with the competitions. 

   Regarding the Rules sets in progress folder, my assumption would be that the purpose of the folder is to solicit feedback on unfinished games or beta versions. That's certainly the way I think of it. I have a fair number of games in there myself. This is not because I try to "load up" the folder. Rather, it is because very little feedback has been forthcoming, so I've left some of the games in there for now. Three of my games in there are 4x4 abstracts, which many players may not be interested in, and I'll probably take them out soon.  It also seems that some designers have not utilized the folder.
