I would like to buy variant pieces... but, after some thinking about it... likely won't. I made my own years ago out of sets that cost less than $5. Some cutting of plastic, some glue. They came out looking pretty good. But, I hardly ever get to use them in face to face games... heck, I have trouble getting Shogi, Xianqi, Go, and Navia Dratp games going... and I have sets of each.

If I had extra money I would gladly buy variant pieces simply to support the cause. But the wife doesn't work and there are 4 kids... lots of bills, high gas prices, etc. Still, if I saw an IAGO Game Pack in the store, I'd likely not be able to resist taking out the credit card and buying it... if reasonably priced. But then, it would likely sit next to my Shogi, Xianqi, Navia, and many other games, waiting for the day when an opponent would show up.
