-== Setup ==
-# Place the [[Black Martian Coaster|black coaster]] in the center of the table, and place each coloured coaster adjacent to one side, forming a cross.
-# Create five three-colour trees, and place each on a coaster of a colour not included in the tree.
-== Gameplay ==
-# Assign two transparent colours to each player, leaving the opaque black (or white, if using [[Xeno]] pieces) unassigned.
-#* "Warms" vs. "cools" is an intuitive grouping for [[Rainbow]] pieces.
-# Play proceeds as in two-player [[Martian Coasters]], with each player attempting to complete both of their nests.
-=== The "8-Ball" ===
-The black nest is the "8-Ball". As in billiards, the 8-ball cannot be scored until the scoring player has completed his other objectives.
-* No player may complete the black nest until both of his coloured nests are completed. Any player doing so forfeits any remaining movement points or special actions and loses immediately.
-* A player may not directly move any black pieces until he has completed at least one coloured nest.
-** Black pieces do not prevent aim, hop, or dig actions affecting them indirectly.
-** Black pieces do not prevent moving a piece from below them to the top of their stack using movement points.
-== Winning ==
-* A player wins when both of his nests are completed, and he completes the black nest.
-* As implied by the name, a player may not complete the black nest until both of his coloured nests are completed. Completing the black nest prematurely results in a loss for that player.
-== Variations ==
-* Two-handed play can be sped along by limiting each player to one colour.
-* This game could be expanded to three- or four-handed play by limiting each player to one colour.
