Useful tip on the Travel sets

["Kistaro Windrider" <kistaro@...>]

Hey y'all,

I got my Blue Panther Travel Piecepack set today! It looks great, and
apart from a few stray scraps of wood on a few of the coins (easily
removed with sandpaper), I don't forsee any problems with it. As a
previous commentor noticed- it smells like burning, but I suppose
that's to be expected given how it's produced! The sticky residue
doesn't really bother me, actually- I didn't notice it much.

Here's what I did notice: There are a lot of Piecepack games that
expect a four-suited set. The Travel set has eight suits, if y'all
hadn't noticed. That nice canvas bag isn't that great for keeping the
suits sorted out. But y'know those little plastic boxes that hold 60
or so Magic: The Gathering cards (without card sleeves)? Well, except
for the dice, one set (four suits) fits almost perfectly in one of
them, and the dice aren't very hard to sort out. It works great for
keeping the Classic and Card suit-sets seperate, so when I only want
four suits for a game, it's right there and available! It's a little
inconvenient to sort out the pieces at the end of an eight-suit game,
but no more inconvenient than it would be to sort them out next time
I'd want to play a four-suit game.

So if you want to keep the sets separated, use those little plastic
deck boxes. Works like a charm.
