I've played this game. It takes a good while to set up the star pattern with all those discs, certainly not less than 1 minute! Increased setup time.

From one space, a pyramid may move over one other occupied space to land on the space after the occupied one

Only the top most pyramid in a stack may be moved. With this it is possible to trap an opponent's pyramid on a space.
