Place pennies in a 4x4 grid, checkerboard style alternating Heads,Tails. Choose a color, and take out the solid pyramids. Choose Heads or Tails. Flip a coin to see who goes first.

Place all your pyramids on one side of the board so it looks something like this.

   P  HTHT
   P  THTH
   P  HTHT
      THTH    p= PYRAMID, H=HEADS, T= TAILS
      PP P

Place the 1 dot solid pyramid on the top right corner. Then, each player takes 1 solid and places it on the penny of his choice.

Move[edit | edit source]

Also, You MAY move 1 piece of your own into the empty spot. Keep it's position, though.

Aim[edit | edit source]

Reorient a piece of yours so that it is facing a different line of pennies.

Fire[edit | edit source]

Flip over a line of pennies that 1 of your pyramids point to. If a solid of another size is in your line, stop. you can not flip any more behind that. If a solid of the same size is in your line, you may pass through, but not flip over the penny under the solid.
