[OT] game pieces

In WalMart's craft department I found "Tessel Tiles", a
collection of semi-rigid sponge triangles, squares and hexes,
all with edge length (not width) approx 0.625 inch.  A pack,
containing perhaps 100 total pieces in various colors, was
$3.49.	 Looks like you should be able to use a magic marker on
one side to mark unit designations for any strategic games you
plan--triangles for squadrons, squares for brigades, hexes for
planets, for example.
