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 💧

It's Your Turn in Lunar Invaders, the #LooneyPyramids #game of teleporting and our #LooneyGameOfTheMonth. In the game shown, the Blue player (of the black moon) is about to win, but it’s the Red player’s turn. What’s Red’s best play?

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 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!👇😁👍

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 👍😁👍

IceSickle by Dan Isaac is one of those quintessential pyramid games. All you need is 5 trios and a 5x5 board. First, seed pyramids by placing them anywhere on the board. Then sow by jumping a pieces pips worth over other pieces to capture. Such elegance 👍😁👍

Amoeba by Eric Oosterwal is a very nice territorial connection game. Big points to be had with proper foresight and alignment. But despite the huge point gaps at times it plays relatively tight in the end 😁👍 This one was won by 1 point.

I was only able to play one pyramid game this week and it was Andy Looney’s Looney Ludo, #theLooneyGameoftheMonth!
