The user formerly known as [[User:Mcd]]. I've devised some pyramid games and tools, listed at [http://mcdemarco.net/games/pyramid/ my website] and also below. My storage system is [[ChocolateTinStorage|an old chocolate tin.]]

It contains pyramids:
 
* a full Xeno set (5 trios of each Xeno color), from the Ice Towers boxed game plus a tube of orange I won in a Looney Labs contest
* a Homeworlds set (3 trios each of the transparent rainbow colors) from the Homeworld boxed game
* six trios of Kickstarter Green from the Pyramid Arcade kickstarter
 
...and stuff:
 
* Homeworlds instructions, board and turn marker
* Instructions from Ice Towers
* [[ICE-7]] cards
* [[Sandships]]
* two different decks of Zendo cards, the official one and one I printed up specifically for playing with Xeno colors
* travel Othello pieces and some generic green game pieces for playing Zendo
* an [[Opaque bag]], useful for playing [[Zoning Out]]
* six yellow traffic cones of unknown origin for marking off unused parts of a paper board or the dimensions of an imaginary board
* a printed Color Wheel board (two-sided, with grayed-out spaces I used to use for a low-color variant of [[Color Wheel]] I used to play before I got Homeworlds)
* a printed Solomids board with a 6x6 Mega-Volcano grid on the back
* one Lightning die for Somids (see way below)
 
Besides playing 5-stash games for Rainbow colors in Xeno colors, I also end up substituting white for black a lot (''e.g.'', in [[Zoning Out]]), since black is the only standard color I don't have.

I’ve half-designed a few pyramid games based on other games, mostly as an intellectual exercise. They have not yet been fully playtested or entered into the wiki.
