Icehouse game system

From Looney Pyramid Games Wiki

The Icehouse game system, at its core, consists of stackable pyramids of pronounced vertical proportion, which come in three different sizes. Historically, the 'standard' Icehouse set is composed of 60 Icehouse pieces in four stashes of different colors (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue). The hollow plastic pieces currently available are preferred.

Also included in the Icehouse system are other game equipment frequently used in Icehouse games, including such things as chessboards, Volcano boards, Zendo stones, Tarot cards, dice, extra stashes, stash pads, etcetera.
