Piecepack is a Game System developed by James Kyle. It was developed to be an open source game system modeled after a deck of playing cards. There are over one hundred games available for the game system. Some use only piecepack components, whereas others use additional components such as Icehouse Pieces, a deck of cards, or an 8x8 board (chess board).

Graphics for piecepack can be freely downloaded, though there are vendors who produce sets for purchase.

Components

• 24 square tiles - obverse marked with suit and value, both in color matching the suit reverse marked with two lines forming a two space by two space grid one tile per suit/value combination
