Building on this earlier effort, I proceeded to redesign the format to emulate the style of the official [[Pyramid Arcade]] rulebook.

Alright, looks like the new MediaWiki site is working!
About Me[edit | edit source]
I first heard about the "Icehouse" pieces years ago while looking up chess variants and other chess-like games on Wikipedia. However it wasn't until ~2011 when I read the rules for Homeworlds that I realized the full potential of these little pyramids and purchased my own set. This has subsequently introduced me a world of delightfully clever games which I enjoy exploring.
Pyramid Game Ideas[edit | edit source]
I like to tinker and tweak games, therefore many of my initial ideas are merely variations or adaptations of other games. I do, however, have a couple of quasi-original ideas that am slowly refining and playtesting. Eventually, I shall post them here for others to enjoy (or not, depending on the disposition of the players and the quality of my designs).
Other Contributions[edit | edit source]
