Icehouse

Get ready for a game experience that defies conventions! Icehouse is the title that introduced the iconic Icehouse Pieces, now better known as Looney Pyramids. Launched in December 1989 with an initial run of just 100 sets in black boxes, and a few very limited handmade editions afterward, this game is a true landmark for anyone who enjoys something out of the ordinary. Here, the action is continuous: forget turns or rounds! Players position their pieces, whether to attack or defend, at their preferred pace. The fluidity is total, with no forced pauses, making each game a strategic and tactical race. Scoring only happens when time runs out or when all players have used up their pieces. Points are awarded for safe defenders and successful attackers, turning every move into a crucial decision. If you've ever come across sets of Looney Pyramids without rules, know that it was Icehouse that introduced them to the world of board games. It's a game that values mental agility and adaptability, without relying on a specific language to be played.
