Hello,

there are mistakes in the package description. The 2nd sentence states
that there are square, hexagonal and triangular grids. This leads the
reader to conclude that these grids have square, hexagonal or
triangular outer shape, which is wrong. In fact all grids are
rectangular regarding their outer shape but the fields, they are made
of, have different shapes.

IMO it should read something like "grids of squares...".

I attached a patch, which also includes some minor corrections in
punctuation and adds a missing pronoun.

Please consider updating the package description, thanks!
