Hi, I'm Kat Costa. You can find me on BGG under the username [https://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/kataclysm kataclysm]. I discovered pyramid games around 2012 and I liked the idea of playing many games from one set of materials. Years later, it has proved an enduring hobby for me. My favorite pyramid games tend to be combinatorial
==Games I've Designed==
[[Xero-G]] (2019)
<br>[[Green Hijinks]] (2016)
<br>[[Override]] (2019)
<br>[[Nickel]] (2020)
<br>[[Depict]] (2021) — this one is still in development
==Recommended Games==
Have you tried these? They're good!
<br>[[Apophis]] — A fun cooperative game about destroying an asteroid in real-time.
<br>[[Ricochet Pyramids]] — A real-time puzzle game with tons of replay value
<br>[[Lockpick]] — A solitaire card game with a mancala element to it: try to make sets to pick pyramid-locks.
<br>[[Zark City]] — Pyramids + poker cards = fun
<br>[[Binary Homeworlds]] — A deep and satisfying game of perfect information and wormholes.
<br>[[Volcano]] — A colorful, thinky strategy game.
<br>[[IceSickle]] — A two-minute zero-luck strategy game
<br>[[Imperial Shuffle]] — A 2-player game played on two 4x4 boards where you extinguish or resurrect your opponent's pieces from afar
<br>[[Pikemen]] — It's like chess, but better.
<br>[[Extinction]] — It's also like chess but better.
<br>[[Turning Points]] — There's basically only one rule, but you will be surprised at the end-result when there are sufficient pieces on the board.
==Games I Want to Try==
*[[Attack of the Mids]] — a co-op game about saving the town from slimes and collecting samples for science. The only randomness is for A.I./bad events after the players' turns.
*[[Treehouse Snakes and Ladders]] — if Snakes and Ladders had actual decisions and tactics
*[[Houses of Thoth]] — Erect high towers of pyramids and Tarot cards
*[[Solomids]] — A solo puzzle game using 3 rainbow stashes and a 10x5 board
*[[Icehouse Plant Game]] — Looks like a more fun version of Photosynthesis
*[[Infiltrate]] — Build an army of 15 pips' worth of pyramids and try to get one piece to the other side of the chessboard.
*[[Autumn Ash]] — pyramids on a chessboard change color and grow leaves
*[[Deception]] — An abstract game played on a chessboard that uses colorful pyramids hidden beneath opaque pyramids.
*[[Amoeba]] — You use poker chips as the board, adding to make the board larger as you go.
*[[Dragonflock]] — Zero luck. You are dragons flying over mountains and trying to destroy the other player's towns.
==Useful Pages==
*[[History_timeline]] — History Timeline of Looney Pyramids
*[[Count of Games by Design Stage]] — Counts all games on the site (that have infoboxes) and splits the numbers out by what state of design the games are in
*[[Games by Release Year]]
*[[Grids and Chessboards]] Copy and paste any size grid into the page you're working on for great-looking rules diagrams
*[[How to Use Pyramid Love Font]]
