==Setup==

1. Take one ~~pyramid~~ of each ~~size and~~ color and place them in a ~~drawbag~~. (if using three draw bags or boxes, one for each size).

# Take one trio of each color and place them in an opaque bag. (If using three draw bags or boxes, use one for each size).

⚫

# All players start with one medium pyramid (of value 2) in each color.

⚫

# Separate the remaining pyramids by color and place them in a circle, each color taking up one spot. This will be the Spectrum.

⚫

~~2. Either~~ ~~all~~ players start with a medium pyramid of value 2 in each color

⚫

# Place the directional arrow in the spectrum pointing clockwise (but not the center as this will cause confusion as to the direction of the exchange).

⚫

# Draw three sets of goals from the draw bag(s). Each set consists of one pyramid of each size in random colors.

⚫

3. Separate the remaining pyramids by color and place them in a circle, each color taking up one spot. This will be the Spectrum.

⚫

4. Place the directional arrow in the spectrum pointing clockwise (but not the center as this will cause confusion as to the direction of the exchange).

⚫

5. Draw three sets of goals. Each set consists of one pyramid of each size in random colors.

==Play==

Line 50:

Line 47:

# Exchanges are considered a single transaction. Therefore, if a player exchanges 2 small and 2 medium in a turn, they can only take 2 large due to rule 3.

# Exchanges are always even. Players must receive pyramids totalling the value they exchanged for.

# Pyramids are finite. There will only be 4 ~~pyramids~~ of each color available in the game. Players may not exchange for more than this. (~~for~~ example, a player cannot exchange 2 large pyramids for 6 small).

# Pyramids are finite. There will only be 4 trios of each color available in the game. Players may not exchange for more than this. (For example, a player cannot exchange 2 large pyramids for 6 small).

'''Upconverting''' is exchanging a pyramid of one value for another of 1 value higher within the same player. For example, a player upconverting a 2-value blue pyramid trades it in for a 3-value blue pyramid.

Line 58:

# The 3 matching pyramids in that player's stash are returned to the spectrum.

# The goal is returned to the draw bag. A new goal is drawn.

# The goal is returned to the draw bag(s). A new goal is drawn.

# The directional indicator is reversed. Now exchanges move in the other direction.

Game end:

As soon as a player's stash contains 6 or less points in pyramids, that player wins.

==Notes==

The original rules required "one [stash] each of all 12 available colors". Now that more [[Color|colors]] are available, more could (or must?) be used.
