Materials
25 small pyramids in five colors
A 5×5 grid
12 tokens in two colors (these can be pyramids of unused colors, if you have them, or they can be coins, stones, bottle caps, etc).
Nickel works best if you own five nests each of five colors so that five small pyramids of each color can be used. However, you can get by with only a Pyramid Arcade set (three nests each of five colors) by substituting mediums for two of the smalls and ignoring the somewhat visually-distracting size difference.
