Yes, it was the first idea I had. By now there has been a chain reaction and quite a few of the tiles in one area are broken. Almost impossible to lift tiles (especially in those not very accessible spaces, under the counter is easiest) without breaking them. I probably need eight or nine new tiles and of course they have to match both in color and in shape the damaged ones. There are four colors and three shapes in the pattern. Decidedly tricky!
