Playing With Pyramids

Icehouse Games Rule Book

If Icehouse pieces are like playing cards, then this book is akin to Hoyle's guide to card game rules. This indispensable 128 page book contains rules and strategy advice for a dozen of the best games you can play with the pyramids. Most of the games will require 4 stashes of 4 different mono chrome colors.

Playing with Pyramids will explain how to play:

• IceTowers
• Thin Ice
• Zendo
• Martian Backgammon
• Volcano
• Martian Chess
• RAMbots
• Pikemen
• Zagami
• Icehouse
• Homeworlds
• Gnostica

The  pyramids come with the game "Treehouse". (Note: multiple copies must be purchased to get 4 complete stashes of 15 pyramids each.) We also make full stashes available (15 pyramids, 5 in each of the 3 sizes) as originally offered by Looney Labs.

10 "stashes" (sets of pieces) are available. The ammount of needed stashes for each game varries. 

The simple art of stacking and re-stacking the pieces becomes addictive.

You may find yourself suddenly staying up all hours of the night, or even all night (like us) after the kids are in bed just so you can "play a couple more games"...

With Icehouse, you technically would not need a big collection of board games. One small gaming set which fits inside a small bag is all that is needed for over 100 different games! But since I wouldn't go so far as to say other games are useless, I will at least say that no (board) game collection is complete without an Icehouse game set.

Icehouse makes an excellent gift. In fact, if you give it to a board-game-fan who was not previously aware that there a large gaming system like this existed, they will be forever grateful to you!
