I've got one basic set, one rough hill set, and some extra pieces for
rough/sloped transitions, etc. I like a lot of what I can do. But I
don't usually build the bottom level out of hexes--I use a mat for the
low level, and build up from there.
Although I think GeoHex really helps for the rolling terrain and shaping
the lay of the land, there is a place for the individual hill, to handle
the small to medium shapes at the top. Hmm--I should probably make some
more for that purpose.

We haven't had much problem with this. Much better than the green foam
you find at craft stores for floral stuff. Slopes on that stuff are
slippery! And I much prefer it to the steps.
