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.

== 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 do one of the following:
 
* Place a small in any unoccupied space, then (optionally) remove two of their own mediums (or one medium and the large) from spaces adjacent to the newly placed small.
* Place"Spend" a(see medium in any unoccupied space, then removebelow) two of their own smalls (orfrom onethe smallboard andto theplace large)a frommedium spacesin an adjacent tounoccupied the newly placed medium.space
* Spend two of their mediums from the board to place a large or a small in an adjacent unoccupied space
* Place the large in any unoccupied space, then remove two of their own mediums from spaces adjacent to the newly placed large.
* Move the large one space to any unoccupied adjacent space, then remove one of their own mediums from a space adjacent to the new location.
 
'''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, and always means spaces adjacent to the one the place was newly placed in (or in the case of the large, moved to).
 
'''Adjacent''' may be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and always means spaces next to the one the piece was newly placed in.
=== Placement ===
Once a large is on the board it is considered "wild", and counts as a medium or a small for all purposes (both removal and four-in-a-row).
 
'''Large is wild:''' Once a large is placed on the board, it becomes wild. It counts as a small or a medium for all purposes, and may be spent as if it were either. (Including to place itself in another space; it may be moved in this fashion, but still has to follow all of the other rules for placement.) When it's not on the board, players must spend two mediums to bring it out.
A medium or large piece must be placed in a space that is adjacent to two of its owner's smalls (or one small and one large) or mediums, respectively. That player then removes the adjacent pieces from the board and returns them to their 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.
Moving the large: The large piece may be moved to an adjacent space; effectively, you are "removing" two mediums, one of which is the (wild) large. The only way to initially get the large onto the board is to remove two mediums.
 
'''Passing a turn:''' If a player doeshas notno havemoves anythey can make, but smallshas pieces left, they must removepass twotheir smallsturn. (or aThey largecan andkeep small)playing to place a mediumif, oron musttheir removenext two mediums (orturn, a largemove andopens medium)up tofor place a largethem.

== Ending the game ==
Line 75 ⟶ 160:
=== 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.
