Piecepack

About this board game

Piecepack is a modular board game system with a listed play time of 10 minutes, first released in 2001. Rather than defining one single game, it provides a set of components that can be used to play many different games.

At the heart of the system are tiles for building boards in different shapes and sizes. The set also includes coins in varying suits and values, dice marked with suits and values, and player pawns. Together, these components provide a common foundation for a broad range of designs.

More than 100 games have been developed for Piecepack so far. Because it is an open-source type system, new games appear frequently, giving the collection an expanding library of possibilities rather than a fixed set of rules.

• Tiles for creating boards of various shapes and sizes
• Coins with different suits and values
• Dice featuring suits and values
• Player pawns

Piecepack is also notable for its public-domain status. Anyone can make a set, including for profit, without paying royalties. Sets are generally requested to follow standard dimensions, but manufacturers are otherwise free to create and sell them.

The suggested dimensions make Piecepack compatible with Looney Pyramids. For a detailed look at the system and its games, the Piecepack Game System provides further information.
