Lonely Ice is a game of sorting pieces. It is played on a board formed of playing cards, and uses a few simple rules to dictate which pieces may move where.
 
=== Setup: Basic Game ===
 
Set up the cards in a 4x5 grid (5x5 if you're using Black Ice as well), so that the cards go horizontal-vertical-horizontal-vertical and so on. Then put all the Icehouse pieces in a bag or box or something, and draw them out one at a time, placing them three to a card. If you get a card that has all three pyramids the same color, drop them back in the bag and draw three more. Stop when you have each card in the grid containing three pyramids of not all the same color (i.e. red-green-yellow is good, and red-red-blue is good, but blue-blue-blue is not).
