==Description==
'''Martian Coasters''' (also known as [[Looney Ludo]]) is a race game using a [[Treehouse]] set and four special coasters. Players roll dice (one [[Dice|d6]] and 1 [[Treehouse die]]) and maneuver their trio toward a goal point, and have the opportunity to manipulate board segments along the way. The first person to assemble their pyramids into a nest on their goal wins.
This game works with either a [[Xeno]] or a [[Rainbow]] treehouse set, since the colors of the coasters correspond to a Rainbow set and the arrows on the coasters correspond to a Xeno set, meaning either color set would work (custom sets of icehouse pieces not based on either of these [[color]] schemes, however, might have some trouble).
==Setup==
Use 4, 5, or 6 Looney Ludo boards and arrange them in one of patterns shown below depending on the number of players.

* For a 6-player game of Martian Coasters, there is an unofficial a template on two A3 pages that needs the 2006 promo coaster above and uses a "virtual coaster" printed on the page. The game is played as if you're on a cube (it wraps around the edges, hopping is not allowed) and is available as [http://www.krisjohn.net/6-playerMartianCoasters.pdf a PDF here].
