This site is ~~not~~ ~~only a~~ resource for people who want to '''play''' games. It's also a playground for people who want to '''design''' games. We use the [[Icehouse game system|Looney pyramid game system]] because it is especially versatile. The pyramids are pawns, playing cards, and poker chips rolled into one. If you play [[IceTowers]], [[Zendo]], and [[Homeworlds]], the pyramids will take on totally different roles in each game.
