If you have three [[Treehouse]] sets, you can use the following color pairings for a two player game: red and yellow, blue and green. If you have one [[Pyramid Arcade]], you can use the following pairings: blue and purple, green and cyan, red and orange, yellow and clear. Or whatever makes sense to the players at the table.
Line 44 ⟶ 56:
== Play ==
The first player places a small in one of the sixteen interior spaces (any space two or more spaces from the edge of the board). There are no restrictions on subsequent piece placement.

On a player's turn, they may do one of the following:
On a player's turn, they do one of the following:
 
* Place a small in any unoccupied space
* Swap"Spend" (see below) two smalls,of ortheir asmalls largefrom andthe aboard small,to forplace a medium in an adjacent unoccupied space
* SwapSpend two mediums,of ortheir amediums largefrom andthe aboard medium,to forplace a large or a small in an adjacent unoccupied space
 
'''Spending''' pieces means to remove them from the board and return them to your stash. The pieces must be in spaces adjacent to that of the piece being placed; they can, but need not, be adjacent to one another as well.
Adjacent may be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
 
'''Adjacent''' may be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and always means spaces next to the one the piece was newly placed in.
=== Swaps ===
When swapping pieces, the two pieces must share at least one adjacent (empty) space; they can, but don't need to be, adjacent themselves. Place the next piece in a space that is adjacent to both of the swapped pieces, then remove the swapped pieces from the board and return them to your stash. You can only do this if you have a piece of the appropriate size remaining, or if the removal of the pieces from the board gives you a piece of the appropriate size.

'''Placing a small:''' You can place a small for free. Or, you can choose to spend two mediums (or a medium and a large) to place a small. The reason why you might do this is if you're down to a single small remaining in your stash; you can return mediums to your stash and keep playing.
If a player does not have any smalls left, they must swap two smalls (or a large and small) for a medium, or two mediums (or a large and medium) for a large. If they are unable to do either of these things, they lose.
 
'''Passing a turn:''' If a player has no moves they can make, but has pieces left, they must pass their turn. They can keep playing if, on their next turn, a move opens up for them. If a player must pass two turns, or runs out of pieces, they lose.
== Winning the game ==
 
A player wins if they get four pieces of the same size (small or medium) in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), or if the other player is unable to make a move. The large may substitute for a piece of either small or medium in this four-in-a-row.
== Ending the game ==
 
=== Win ===
A player wins if they get four pieces of the same size (small or medium) in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). The large may substitute for a piece of either small or medium in this four-in-a-row.
 
A player also wins if they are able to move, but no other player is; if that player makes a move that opens up the board for another player to play (either by choice or necessity), the game continues.
 
=== Lose ===
A player who is unable to move because they are entirely out of pieces loses.
 
=== Draw ===
If all players are unable to make moves, whether or not they are out of pieces, the game ends in a draw.
 
== Trivia ==
The game, under three different names, was originally designed to be played with any of three different game systems: Tink for the Looney Pyramids, Tingle for piecepack, or Ting for Sly (by Sid Sackson; Realm should also be usable with additional pieces). The designer submitted Tingle to a piecepack game design contest in 2018, and it won the grand prize.
