Solomids is a 1-player game in which a player attempts to take a randomly-filled board and organize the pieces into trees. The more moves you make, the greater your freedom of movement.
Flavor text: <blockquote>‘So you’re ready to fly in my forces?’ the Emperor said, sliding a scrambled Solomids setup across the table. ’First you must prove your pyramidian prowess. Win without swapping and you shall command an entire cavalry! A one-swap victory, and you’ll captain your own ship; swap two and it’s off to cadet school for you! But lose…‘lose…’</blockquote>
 
==Equipment==
* Board: a 5×10 grid
* 45 pyramids total, 3 [[trio]]s of 5 different colors:
* {{PL|::S|purple|5em}}{{PL|::M|purple|5em}}{{PL|::L|purple|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|purple|5em}}{{PL|::M|purple|5em}}{{PL|::L|purple|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|purple|5em}}{{PL|::M|purple|5em}}{{PL|::L|purple|5em}}
*{{PL|::S|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::M|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::L|turquoise|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::M|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::L|turquoise|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::M|turquoise|5em}}{{PL|::L|turquoise|5em}}
*{{PL|::S|orange|5em}}{{PL|::M|orange|5em}}{{PL|::L|orange|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|orange|5em}}{{PL|::M|orange|5em}}{{PL|::L|orange|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|orange|5em}}{{PL|::M|orange|5em}}{{PL|::L|orange|5em}}
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
*{{PL|::S|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::M|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::L|fuchsia|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::M|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::L|fuchsia|5em}} &emsp; {{PL|::S|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::M|fuchsia|5em}}{{PL|::L|fuchsia|5em}}
 
== Goal==
Build a complete [[3House]] set, by banking one small-medium-large stack of the same color (called a tree or tree-trio) at a time, attempting to form three complete ‘rainbow stashes’ (five tree-trios, one of every color – making 15 pyramids in each rainbow stash).
 
Line 57 ⟶ 58:
When setting up, follow these two rules:
 
# If at any time drawing pieces you pull the same exact piece – color and size – consecutively, redraw the repeated piece until it’s different.
# As you draw the last two pieces for each row, ensure each row contains at least one of each sized piece or redraw until it does.
 
Example setup:
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
Lastly, establish an area off to the side that functions to hold completed tree-trios, known as the bank.
 
==Gameplay ==
There are three ways to move pieces in the playing area – Stacking, Sliding, and Swapping.
 
Line 98 ⟶ 99:
If three rainbow stashes have been deposited into the bank, forming a perfect 3house set, you win! If at any time you cannot stack, slide or swap, the game is over.
