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
* "Spend" (see below) two of their smalls from the board to place a medium in
* Spend two of their mediums from the board to place a large or a small in
'''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
'''Adjacent''' may be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and always means spaces
'''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.
'''Placing a small:''' You can place a small for free.
'''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.
== Ending the game ==
Line 73 ⟶ 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.
