Xeno
A Xeno Pyramid Stash is one with one nest each of the following five colors:
- Clear
- Cyan
- Orange
- Purple
- White
As with the more basic Rainbow array, there is a single opaque color plus four translucent colors. Most games originally designed for Rainbow pyramids can be played with Xeno ones, according to the following standard conversions:
| Rainbow Color | Xeno Color |
|---|---|
| Black | White |
| Red | Orange |
| Yellow | Clear |
| Green | Cyan |
| Blue | Purple |
Note: some people prefer to use Cyan in place of Blue. However this leaves Purple as a substitute for Green, which is not particularly intuitive. The color pairs listed in the table above are the ones used in the official Looney Labs the old "IceSheet" style rules for Homeworlds (the rules in the Pyramid Arcade make no mention of mapping colors, however it was unnecessary given that the box included all 10 colors).
