A '''stash''' is a collection of three [[trio|trios]] all the same color, 15 pyramids total.
In more recent years, Looney Labs has applied the word in official packaging of [[Rainbow]] Stash and [[Xeno]] Stash sets, where a set consists of five trios, each of a different color.▼
Before the term trio was coined, a stash was defined as a set of five [[large piece]]s, five [[medium piece]]s, and five[[small piece]]s.
In the rules for [[Zark City]], "Stash" is used to refer to each player's set of 3 [[trio]]s.▼
Some games require just one stash per player, while others require a fixed total number of stashes. The "traditional" colors used in four-stash sets are red, yellow, green, and blue.
==History==
The original resin Icehouse pieces (The First 100) were sold by the stash, with all 15 pieces of the same [[color]], five of each size. Later products came packaged as complete [[Icehouse set|Icehouse sets]]. Monochrome stashes returned to the market in 2002, and were discontinued in 2006 with the arrival of [[Treehouse]].
▲In more recent years, [[Looney Labs]] has applied the word in official packaging of [[Rainbow|Rainbow Stash]]
Looney Pyramids are now sold in one-stash boxes based on the Treehouse model: each contains a spectrum of five colors, so that a set includes one pyramid of each size-color combination. The [[Rainbow|Rainbow Stash]] has red, yellow, green, blue, and black; the [[Xeno|Xeno Stash]] has purple, clear, orange, cyan, and white.
The [[IceDice]] product contains two Rainbow Stashes worth of pyramids (i.e. a [[:category:2HOUSE|2HOUSE]] supply).
Currently, the only monochrome stashes for sale are the [[Pink Treehouse]] set (no longer available from Looney Labs) and the semiprecious stone pyramids sold by [[Crystal Caste]].
==Trivia==
In the game [[Icehouse]], the unplayed pieces you control are kept on your [[stash pad]]. The distinctive pattern a player places their stash in before the game begins is known as that player's [[signature]].
