===Capturing===
Line 266 ⟶ 270:
*Pyramids standing up are in defensive position and may only be captured by a bigger piece.
*Large pyramids standing up are, as a result, invulnerable.
===Points and Game End===
*Captured pyramids are permanently out of the game. They are collected by the player who captured them and are worth points equal to the pip-size of the pyramid.
==History==▼
*The game ends when one player has captured 12 points' worth of pieces.
It was originally known as "IceChess" but the name was changed to avoid confusion with [[Martian Chess]].▼
== Strategy ==
Line 284 ⟶ 288:
Some people exposed to the game have criticized it for being called "Pike-'''''men'''''" in a era when gender neutrality is in fashion. Suggestions for alternative names are currently being collected.
