Thanks for the nice comments everyone, I appreciate them.
I haven't looked in a while, but I think the price of the small wooden set was
around $30 US, you used to be able to find them at the Game Keeper stores out
here in California. The quality was okay, nothing special really. But it was
such a clever game idea that had to get it.
I prefer the lego version to be honest, it has a cleaner look than the wood
version and the pieces fit rather nicely. My dream has been to create a
minifig sized version, maybe someday... but I guess that's what LDraw is for.
Anyways, thanks again.
Take care,
Gary

You did an awesome job on these!
I'd buy a set of these if you made up instructions and parts.. how hard are
the parts to come by? There are currently custom kit sellers selling Chess
pieces and boards but no other games that I know of yet...
Do I read right that the basic instructions are OK to copy off the web? It's
a little vague on the site...

Thanks Larry, I appreciate it.
Yeah it'd be a really cool set to sell a kit of, especially since the parts are
relatively easy to come by - basically just bricks, tiles, and slopes. It
seems a little sketchy though since the game's copyrighted, unlike games like
chess and so forth. I think the rules are up more up on the web as a
convenience, so I'd guess we aren't allowed to reproduce them. Interesting
idea though.
Later,
Gary
