Although piecepacks may certainly be stylized or personalized (eg for promotional purposes), it is important that piecepacks conform to the basics outlined in the Anatomy section above. Coin diameter should not exceed 1/2 tile width, so that a coin may fit on a tile quarter-section. As a point of reference, (not a requirement), the Mesomorph piecepack pieces are the following dimensions: tiles are 2" x 2" x 1/4", coins are 3/4" diameter x 1/8", dice are 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2", and pawns are 5/8" diameter x 1-1/8" tall. The word piecepack is not capitalized, as it is a compound word rather than a title. Though not required, you may include the name of the designer of the piecepack, James Kyle, as part of piecepack packaging.
