As of 2024, Looney Pyramids are most readily available for purchase in the form of rounded-tip, die-injected plastic pieces. The most abundant current source of these is [https://store.looneylabs.com/products/pyramid-arcade Pyramid Arcade], the multi-game set sold via the [https://store.looneylabs.com/ Looney Labs store]. Retail game stores and book shops are also a good source of Looney Pyramids, sold in boxed copies of [[Zendo]], [[Nomids]], [[Martian Chess]] (opaque red color only), [[Ice Duo]], and [[Homeworlds]]. The color Silver can be obtained only from the Looney Labs store website when buying a copy of [[Martian Chess]] and selecting the silver option, which costs extra compared to the standard Martian Red color for that product. The color Pink can only be obtained through buying the zippered-pouch set of [[Pink Hijinks]]. The color Kickstarter Green can be purchased directly from the website, and is the only product where pyramids can be obtained without an accompanying game or set of rules. |
