Line 54 ⟶ 51: ===Start=== The player holding the die goes first. Turns rotate clockwise thereafter. On a turn, roll the die and perform the rolled action on your trio. If you ''can'' perform the action on your trio, you ''must''. If you can't perform it on ~~his~~your trio, you can ~~optionally~~ perform it on the House or pass. If you can't ~~or don't want to~~ affect the House either, reroll. ===Actions=== Line 70 ⟶ 67: {{PL\|:SWAP\|black\|2em}} Make two of your pyramids switch places. They retain their orientations if possible. The case where it is not possible is when a lying-down pyramid is swapped with a pyramid that is on top of a stack. If this happens, the lying-down pyramid stands up as it goes on top of the stack, and the pyramid that was on top of the stack stays upright as it lands on the table. {{PL\|:DIG\|black\|2em}} Take a lying-down pyramid and imagine it tunneling underground. It tunnels in the direction it was initially facing and comes up either between two pyramids, to the side, or ''underneath'' another pyramid (or underneath a stack of pyramids). A lying-down pyramid that is facing away from all the other pieces is not eligible to tunnel. {{PL\|:WILD\|black\|2em}} Choose one of the above. You are allowed to use your move on either your own trio or the House. ===Game End=== The first player whose trio matches the House exactly wins the game. ==Trivia== == Treehouse was originally sold in a clear plastic [[stash]] tube as a self-contained game. It gave its name to the [[Treehouse set]], which is a collection of 15 pyramids in 3 colors. '''Treehouse''' is a [[Single stash games\|single stash]] game designed by [[Andrew Looney\|Andy Looney]]. The rules fit onto a [[stash]] tube and is sold as a self-contained game including a [[Treehouse die\|specialized die]]. Looney Labs made Treehouse their standard-issue Icehouse product for 2006, revolutionizing how retailers sell Icehouse, as well as breaking the monochrome stash convention. Treehouse gave its name to the '''Treehouse set''', which is a collection of 5 [[nest]]s each of a different [[color]]. [[Rainbow]] and [[Xeno]] are the two most common color schemes, but others (such as ones assembled from custom icehouse collections) are typically valid for most [[:Category:Treehouse set\|Treehouse set games]] (except for [[Martian Coasters]]). == Awards == Line 87 ⟶ 81: == External Links == [https://www.looneylabs.com/rules/treehouse Online rules]. * [http://www.wunderland.com/icehouse/Treehouse/Default.html Official Treehouse site], including the comprehensive rules. * [http://www.wunderland.com/WhatsOld/2006/WN.01.19.06.html WWN article] about the invention of Treehouse * Treehouse is listed on [http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/21955 BoardGameGeek]. * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2SQvF_1YsU~~&index=4&list=PLm3OKhfkyvNYAsBilVh1QqxvmQCZD5KxP~~ Video tutorial ] * Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPFRDlBYN4w Treehouse wins Origins Award] {{PyPr}} {{pa}} Line 108 ⟶ 104: [[Category:IceSheets]] [[Category:Games featured in Pyramid Arcade]] [[Category:PocketGuide]]
