Play More Games with the Homeworlds Set

From the back cover: "Dive into a treasure trove of games, old and new, playable with Looney Labs' Homeworlds Set—a small box with just 36 pyramids in 4 colors and 3 sizes. It defies intuition that it could rival its previously available bigger sibling, Pyramid Arcade, that had 90 pyramids and all materials for 22 games. But the Homeworlds Set hides a universe of surprises. Delve into this collection of 23 games, most of them no-chance full-information abstract strategy games, including 5 personally designed games, 7 ported games (equivalent rules, but played with Looney Pyramids), and several adaptations (changed rules to align with pyramid play), all with variants worthy of play in their own right. Expertly curated and selected by the author and playtesters, this book offers a diverse selection of pyramid games, solitaire challenges, and other surprises. It includes solitaire puzzles with optimal solutions, accompanied by proofs of optimality. It provides insights into some aspects of game design for those interested. Additionally, the book features Zendo, a favorite since its inception, but supplemented with a logic language for unambiguous rules, and a variant playable with just 5 trios. With extensive references and acknowledgments, it even serves as a valuable resource for exploring other games. This must-have companion for the Homeworlds Set multiplies its play value manifold by capturing the essence of pyramid gaming with its diverse selection—your next favorite game awaits your discovery."
