Mike Stackpole on Pieces of Eight
In the most recent Comics & Games Retailer magazine, New York Times best-selling author Mike Stackpole had this to say about Pieces of Eight, in his "The Winning Edge" column:
"I've long pointed to Atlas Games' Pieces of Eight as a good example of a game that packs small and plays big. Stack a set of coins, hand it to a prospective player, let him learn the powers of the specific coins as he goes, and within 10 minutes, he'll want more coins and to play again. It's a great tool for getting folks hooked on a fun game that really benefits from a tactile feel."
