When designing games with [[Icehouse piece|Looney pyramid]]s, you are encouraged to ''break the unwritten rules'' that players are used to in other games... rules like "[[:Category:Turnless|you have to take turns]]", "[[Martian Chess|my pieces are in my color]]", and "[[Tic Tac Doh!|you have to play on a board.]]" See below for specifics on how to get seen by other readers here.
Line 42 ⟶ 67:
=== Designing Games ===
The Looney pyramids are fertile ground for game designers, and new games for pyramids are being created [[
If you have created a pyramid game, make a page for it on this wiki. Add your game to [[Template_talk:Count_of_games|the master list]] and to the [[Community Games]] page. Please add [[:Special:Categories|Categories]] to your game, so that others can find it based on their tastes and available equipment. Don't forget to tell the rest of the pyramid community about your new creation. If you do, you will get helpful feedback on how to improve your design from a group that has a lot of experience at testing new ideas.

== Using the Wiki ==
=== Revisions ===
Browse our pages and see what we have to see! Along the way, you'll find a page that needs your help. Maybe it needs a picture, or better spelling, or something else that you can do something about. This is a wiki: Dive right in!
Also, anybody can make a page with the rules for a game that already exists ('''if you are substantially duplicating game rules or other potentially copyrighted materials, make sure you have permission to do so from the original designer''').
=== Admins ===
If you have something that needs admin attention, please use their Talk pages.
* [[User:Kataclysm|kataclysm]] is the acting Bureaucrat.
* [[User:Dazeysan|Jesse]] is helping with the technical side of things during the migration.
If you want to help administer or moderate the wiki please let us know.
