Mike Stackpole on Pieces of Eight

In the Comics & Games Retailer magazine that came in the mail yesterday, Mike Stackpole (er, rather, "New York Times Best Selling Author Mike Stackpole") had this to say about Pieces of Eight, in his regularly appearing "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.
