It was just too difficult of a task to bother with (especially considering how easy it was to knock the stach over). Make the objects cubes and it becomes a much more realistic task. The only problem is will be tough finding off-the-shelf game pieces.
Perhaps something like the foam cubes used in gymnastics or stunts? I've always thought something like this would make a cool game piece since we rarely have cube/square pieces.
