==Star Systems and Wormholes==
This game is played on a flat surface with nothing but pyramids. Pyramids represent either ''star systems'' or ''ships'' visiting those star systems.

<br>Most star systems consist of a single pyramid standing up. All star systems are connected to other star systems through a kind of wormhole technology that lets any two systems connect to one another instantaneously, regardless of the distance between them in our conventional measurements. The catch is that the wormhole will only work if the two systems ''contain no pyramid sizes in common.'' For instance, a star system consisting of a medium pyramid is connected to all small and large star systems, but no other medium star systems.<br>

There are also ''binary'' star systems, consisting of exactly two pyramids stacked atop one another.

Since binary star systems often contain two different sizes, they can be even more limited in what they connect to.
