I recently came across four new set lines of Brix building blocks, which seems to be a subsidiary of "Well Played", in 5Below. Two of these lines are micro bricks, they look to be about the same size as Nano Blocks, but the other lines are compatible with Lego.
Box. MSRP is $3.25, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Corners, Bent Axle Connector, Round Bricks, and Axle Connector.

Parts 2. Round Tile, Wedge Tiles, Corner Tiles, Bar Holder w/Bar, Tiles,
Plates, Clip Plates, Round Plates, Inkwells, Pin/Axle, Axle, Bar Clips,
Skeleton Arm, Bricks w/Stud on Side, and Double Female Brick.
The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away? Yes. (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio? Below. (+5) (The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away? Yes. (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts? Yes. (+5)
Score: +20 (A+). I'll definitely be using those Round Bricks in future tree builds. That Black Round Tile should make a decent starting point for a shield. I'm not sure how, but I'll use that Double Female Brick somehow too.
