Thanks for sending this - I have just been doodling these very things,
and it's nice to see a good catalog of them.

Something like {4,5} with 0 truncation could be interesting for a game
with pointing, since the spaces are square so you can continue a line
along them.

The faces around one vertex of {4, 5} is close to 5-player Martian Chess board with Eeyore's warped quadrants. Except that each quadrant is basically a Euclidean square tesselation.

Maybe adjust quadrants to also be sections of a {4,5} tesselation? Could be tricky to draw, but amusing...
