Making a Travel-Sized Homeworlds set

you're a very cool geek and nice video

Are you ever going to release the 0-pips?
I have a sold out Zendo set, and I don't want to rip the tops of a Zendo set

Andy, I think you've got a great product in the making here. If you could pack Binary Homeworlds into a playing card-sized plastic box I think you could sell it at your website quite easily.

I do remember reading somewhere that the Treehosue rebranding was a way to market a single game to a mass market.  I think this would make a great next step for the Icehosue system.

(Who has spent his first year as a secondary school teacher teaching his students all the Icehouse games he knows.)

Excellent video and instructions. I'll be making some of these soon, I just need to add the treehouse sets to my next order.

Is there anything you can do with the remaining pyramid off cuts?

If you wanted to make a full set of these (five of each color) you'd only have to use two full Treehouse sets -- just cut the tops off of all the large and medium pieces, and one of the smalls. You'll even have an extra of each color to use as a guide, and just in case you roll a Critical Glitch on your Craft skill roll ^_^.

The OBVIOUS other app for the 0-pointers is the five-player version of MARTIAN COASTERS. You could either just give them the same 1-space value as 1 pointers, or bump ALL the pieces up a point (1-pip cost 2 points to move, and so on up) and either keep using the D6 (for a tough game) or raise it appropriately to a D8 or D10 (or even a D12 or 2D6 if you're generous) to accomodate the greater point values.

And then when you pack them into the box you nest the 2-pips together, the 1-pips together and just fill the remaining space in the box with loose 0-pippers?

Unfortunately, since I don't really dig the DIY scene, I'm going to have to wait until the 0-pippers are commercially available. Or maybe I can find someone to do it for me...
