Penrose Rhombs Tileset

PENROSE RHOMBS TILESET
A laser cut game system / novelty toy based on mathematician Roger Penrose's rhombs (P3) tiling.

This is a set of two rhombus shapes which, when tiled according to certain rules, will produce a so-called non-periodic tiling; a pattern that expands infinitely without ever repeating. I am fairly obsessed with patterns like this and I love discovering new ways to create them myself. The P3 tiling is so simple and elegant, I knew my life would not be complete without a physical set, so I made one.
While technically not a game - I have a couple of ideas - its potential for creating interesting puzzles, tile placement mechanics, weird chess variants or general custom grids or boards to play on should be obvious and has not been exploited much yet.
