I like the way this game looks. I like how the actions are fairly intuitive. For example, "dig" meaning that a piece "drills" into the ground, and can poop up underneath other pieces. It's quite clever.
Very simple, in a way, but I'll bet it can get complicated real quick.
People watching this should know that the little pyramids are used for a dozen games or more. It's like a deck of cards: you can play blackjack, but you can also play poker, gin, war, and so on.
You might want to make some serious money by turning this game into a game app for cellphones. It's got simple graphics like TETRIS, you can write software to show all the possible moves to achieve with a given die roll to help out the player, it would be a particularly good coup if you made it interactive between people's phones!
I love this game. I'm too cheap to order the actual plastic pyramids, though, so I made my own by printing out a design on some cardstock paper and did a little papercraft project out of it.
I promise I'll buy a legit set soon, haha!
(PS: I still like Fluxx more, but there's something about little pyramids that you're just drawn to... Martian subconscious messages, maybe?)
Really cool game... once you learn how to play. After watching this vid, I could probably play this game fairly well but it still does have a LOT of rules which most people wouldn't bother to memorize.
I just got my pieces in the mail, including the special Pink edition. Thanks Andrew!

I really hope Icehouse pieces catch on.

5:37 -I would've done that swap to the house, switching medium and small. Screws up Yellow in the process, and still puts Red one move away.

Pretty interesting concept... not too attention-getting, but still a very good example of forced and logic actions in a strategy. Good work, andy.
