==Setup==

Deal each player three cards face-down. Players must look at their cards to make sure they have at least one number card as opposed to only face-cards and aces. (If they have only face-cards and aces, they reveal this fact to the other players and all players draw an extra card until everyone has at least one numbered card.) Now players each select a card from their hand numbered 2-10 and place it face-down in front of them. Once all cards have been placed face-down, cards are revealed and the owner of the highest revealed card places that card in the center of the table and puts a {{PL|::S|~~gray~~|3em}} from his collection on top of it. Then, in clockwise order, each other player does the same, so that the board now consists of as many cards as players.

Line 75:

*'''Draw''' Draw three cards face-down and add them to your hand.

*'''Grow''' Choose one of your pyramids on the board and replace it with a pyramid one size larger.

*'''Spawn''' Add a {{PL|::S|~~gray~~|3em}} to a card you already have pyramids on.

*'''Spawn''' Add a {{PL|::S|black|3em}} to a card you already have pyramids on.

*'''Build''' Choose an empty place on the board orthogonally adjacent to a card you occupy and fill that space with a card in from hand. (The new card must be numbered 2-10.)

*'''Hatch''' ''Only if you have no pyramids on the board'', place a new card on the board from your hand and add a {{PL|::S|~~gray~~|3em}} to it.

*'''Hatch''' ''Only if you have no pyramids on the board'', place a new card on the board from your hand and add a {{PL|::S|black|3em}} to it.

*'''Move''' Move one of your pyramids to an orthogonally adjacent card.

*'''Fly''' Spend an ace to pick up a card, along with all the pyramids currently on it, and teleport it anywhere on the board that you would be able to legally place a new card from your hand. You must have at least one pyramid of your own color on this card, though other players may also be occupying it. The only thing you cannot do is split the board into two disconnected halves with your move. The halves may be joined by as little as one diagonal connection and still qualify as being connected.

So to attack a {{PL|::L|~~gray~~|3em}} you could spend a single King or two Jacks and a Joker. You may receive "change" if you overpay (such as spending a King to attack a {{PL|::M|~~gray~~|3em}}). Draw cards in the amount of the difference. However, you are not allowed to arbitrarily spend extra face-cards just to trade them in for draws—each face-card you spend must have contributed at least one point of damage toward the attack.

'''What happens to the attacked pyramid?''' It's either replaced by the attacker's pyramid of the same-or-smaller size, or it's simply removed from the board. In either case, the attacked pyramid is returned to its owner's stash.
