This is my love letter to #LooneyPyramids 😊

My goal here is to play and share any Looney pyramid game I can find as well as share some of my own ideas in an effort to spread the love ❤️

Game on!

Taking my time these days is proving to be beneficial. No rush, no fuss, just chill 😎
Folio by David Morgan-Mar captures this chill feeling in connect four game form. Place player picked pieces to create the grid but think carefully or you’ll give away the win 😬

After being silenced by the zen of Zendo I needed something crunchy to get me going again. Enter Robert Dudley’s Krump. This game hit all the right notes to get the gears turning. Filled with trappy strategy that blends checkers and chess it won’t disappoint

Monday’s Zendo challenge went really well 😊👍 Here’s another from the PA deck. This one is a medium difficulty level.

I’m still pretty green at Kory Heath’s Zendo and I’m play testing new rules this week 😬 So I figured I would set up a challenge using an easy rule from the PA Zendo card deck. The silver structure follows the secret rule. Post a structure if you wanna play along 😊

Finished flowers on the right just infront of the finished gummy bears 😋

Thanks be to the editor that saved Martian Greenhouse by Becca Stallings from being lost to the sands of time🙏 This is hands down the most immersive patience puzzle game I’ve ever played 👍👍

Build flowers from a list by splicing their traits 3 pyramids at a time 🧬

I definitely have a deeper appreciation for Andy Looney’s Ice Dice, the #LooneyGameoftheMonth, after learning a bit about how it came to be

For those unaware Ice Dice was created at a Burn and made for understandably short attention spans 😅😉😉 Great game to play quickly👍

Rotationary by Dave Chalker is a nice light puzzle for a lazy afternoon. The goal, to rotate the pieces to point in the same direction. Each piece affects the the one it points to according to its pip value.

Something comfortingly familiar about this one😊

The theme for this week has been dexterity 👍😁👍 and Venusian Bowling by Jason Brannen has been my favorite so far. It’s more akin to darts than anything. A lobbing sort of darts.

After a 10 hour shift I took to this one more than I thought I would 😊 and rolled a 20

Atom Smasher by David Artman is a dexterity game similar to marbles. The goal is to flick the opaque small, in this case green cuz Hulk smash!Hulk destroy!, into a tight group of pyramids to separate them. Freed mids are then collected for scoring. Fun stuff 👍😁👍

Drip, cleverly created by Tyler Tinsley, may be going the way of the dinosaur as it requires a Treehouse tube. All the same this is an enjoyable little game that takes minutes to play. Players fill the tube with pyramids trying not to be the last to drop 💧

Medium pieces are stacked randomly on the large pieces. Here is the setup I used to complete the puzzle 🧩
October 24, 2025 at 1:26 PM
This last design is called Alien Invasion 👾 The most complicated made of 7 colors. It took well over 75 moves to complete 😅 but I did finish it 👍😁👍

Magma works by jumping pieces orthogonal/diagonal to empty spots then sliding jumped pieces back to vacant spots1/2

The next Magma design I came up with is titled Wolf Moon. Mayhap I should have used grey instead of orange to represent the wolf but I have been told that orange is the color of change so I think it’s appropriate this time of year 😊

Unplayed at the moment.

I do t remember how long or many moves I made to solve this one but I did 😊

I spent most of the weekend in solitude with Matthew Rogers’ puzzle/patience game Magma as a silent companion. So I came up with some themed designs for the spooky season 🎃 This one is called Candy Corn Harvest.

There is plenty of outdoor recreation to be had in Parker CO. But we stayed indoors this evening for another ride around the mids.

Green nearly lapped me here. But I probably pressed my luck more than I should have by drawing too many bonus cards 😅👍

This next shot comes from Alamosa, CO😁 I got up early to sneak out to one of the many arroyos that stripe the southern Colorado landscape for a solo trek.

This one didn’t go so well as I didn’t account for the ants that would inevitably want to join in😅

On our next stop we headed north to Fort Collins best known for the many craft breweries that populate the area.

In this 3 player game we decided to ditch the “pass up” mechanic which has players draw cards to beat the other player in order to get ahead

This week we’ll take a tour of my favorite place, Colorado, via Niclas Hermansson’s luck-driven bicycle racing game Tour de Pyramide 👍😁👍

We’ll start our journey in Denver with my first solo trek. I finished 2.5 laps, and my legs didn’t even hurt 😉

Lightweight and perfectly portable Joseph Kisenwether’s Synapse-Ice is another game easy to remember. Like many pyramid games this is an adaptation of another game and uses a unique mechanic of directional placement that I’m calling pip to point. Check it out!👇😁👍

Bag of Ice by J.D. Top is a super simple push your luck game of rolling the pyramid die and pulling pyramids.

We decided to speed things up in this game and removed the pyramid die. That definitely made the game a bit more exciting for us 👍😁👍

#Revisit Technically speaking IceSickle is a quintessential Icehouse game which falls within the broader pyramid game nomenclature.

I also discovered on the pyramid wiki that there are quite a few variations including a solo mode 👍😁👍 Glad I posted that link 😉
