That's a good idea. On the topic of place value, I've been wondering whether either of these concepts is suitable for entertaining youngish minds:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeckendorf%27s_theorem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeckendorf%27s_theorem (leads to a number representation)
https://oeis.org/wiki/Primorial_numeral_system https://oeis.org/wiki/Primorial_numeral_system (could be base for applet game: represent a number in this system)
Or, also
https://oeis.org/wiki/Factorial_numeral_system https://oeis.org/wiki/Factorial_numeral_system
