I’ve been struggling to come up with something to say about Doug Orleans’ Intersect other than, “You gotta try it!” But really, you gotta try it!😁👍 It’s a super unique capturing game using card ranks as intersecting points. Very thinky but not overly so ☺️ #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #coordinates

We’re off the beaten path again with with our first pyramid game of the new year, IceFrogs by Jason Spears & Eric Oosterwal. Believe it or not, this game is all about jumping pieces😅 We found only allowing for stacks one piece high created some great tension 👍😁 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #ribbit

Color Wheel is the beautiful solo/co-op game of swapping pieces until all are grouped into clusters of 1 color. Pretty & fun, the 'no speaking' rule adds complexity as you anticipate your teammate's moves, similar to Hanabi. Check out what folks are saying about Color Wheel...
An image of the Color Wheel game board set up with 7 colors of pyramids and three grey scale colors of pyramids on the side with the Color Wheel logo and 3 thought bubbles that read, "A pleasant puzzle to solve." "One of my favorite solo challenges in Pyramid Arcade." and "Color Wheel is an enjoyable solo/co-op puzzle... Turning the chatic fractal pattern into an orderly one is always satisfying."

Not to be outdone by the Looney Labs holiday gift the #LooneyGameoftheMonth Color Wheel is also quite a treat 😁👍 This was my second coop game. We didn’t do too bad and were able to complete placement with three turns left to spare. Love this little puzzle game ☺️ #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #wheel

The Looney Labs gift for 2025, Andy Looney’s Looney Dejarik, did not disappoint! As a matter of fact it was a hoot 👍😁👍 The chance dice add a level of unpredictability that was unexpectedly fun. A bit swingy in all the right ways. We laughed a lot 😊 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #starwars

Taking my time these days is proving to be beneficial. No rush, no fuss, just chill 😎 Folio by David Morgan-Mar captures this chill feeling in connect four game form. Place player picked pieces to create the grid but think carefully or you’ll give away the win 😬 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #chill

After being silenced by the zen of Zendo I needed something crunchy to get me going again. Enter Robert Dudley’s Krump. This game hit all the right notes to get the gears turning. Filled with trappy strategy that blends checkers and chess it won’t disappoint #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #chess-like

Ice Dice is a fast & simple press-your-luck dice game. Collect 3 monochrome trees to win! Simple, right? Until you roll the same color twice & bust! Stressful? Yes. Fun? Very! But don't take our word for it, check out what folks are saying about Ice Dice then try it for yourself!

I want to buy the IceDuo version too. -PlatinumBeetle2 on BGG" above an image of the bank of pyramids and two dice in Ice Dice with a thought bubble that reads, "A fun little push-your-luck game, that works great as a filler between bigger games. Do you take the chance and roll just one more time? Or do you play it safe and grab just what you know you can safely get.  -ElectricCoffee on Board Game Geek"

I’m still pretty green at Kory Heath’s Zendo and I’m play testing new rules this week 😬 So I figured I would set up a challenge using an easy rule from the PA Zendo card deck. The silver structure follows the secret rule. Post a structure if you wanna play along 😊 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #zen

Ever dreamed of designing a game? Pyramid Arcade is a gaming system with 22 games that includes components you can use to create your own design! Check out Looney Pyramids Wiki hubs.la/Q03Sl4Xg0 to see fan designs or post your own! Here's what GMJordan has to say about it..
A rainbow of pyramid trios in clear, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, then black with “If you are a game designer of any kind...  board game, TTRPG, video game, whatever...  you really owe it to yourself to get a copy  of Pyramid Arcade. Not only does it come with a ton of great games, it is the single  greatest sandbox for [game] design imaginable. [Pyramid Arcade] is one game that will never leave my collection.” - GM Jordan on Bluesky written below and a Pyramid Arcade game box shown at the bottom left with a double black line border

Rotationary by Dave Chalker is a nice light puzzle for a lazy afternoon. The goal, to rotate the pieces to point in the same direction. Each piece affects the the one it points to according to its pip value. Something comfortingly familiar about this one😊 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #dejavu

The theme for this week has been dexterity 👍😁👍 and Venusian Bowling by Jason Brannen has been my favorite so far. It’s more akin to darts than anything. A lobbing sort of darts. After a 10 hour shift I took to this one more than I thought I would 😊 and rolled a 20 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #D20

Atom Smasher by David Artman is a dexterity game similar to marbles. The goal is to flick the opaque small, in this case green cuz Hulk smash!Hulk destroy!, into a tight group of pyramids to separate them. Freed mids are then collected for scoring. Fun stuff 👍😁👍 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #flicker

Drip, cleverly created by Tyler Tinsley, may be going the way of the dinosaur as it requires a Treehouse tube. All the same this is an enjoyable little game that takes minutes to play. Players fill the tube with pyramids trying not to be the last to drop 💧 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #raindrop

It's Your Turn in Lunar Invaders, the #LooneyPyramids #game of teleporting and our #LooneyGameOfTheMonth. In the game shown, the Blue player (of the black moon) is about to win, but it’s the Red player’s turn. What’s Red’s best play?

This last design is called Alien Invasion 👾 The most complicated made of 7 colors. It took well over 75 moves to complete 😅 but I did finish it 👍😁👍 Magma works by jumping pieces orthogonal/diagonal to empty spots then sliding jumped pieces back to vacant spots1/2 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #alien

Black Coasters are back in stock! They’re also a lot of fun to play with The Closest Ghost, a perfect Halloween game. You & your best friend explore a haunted house on Halloween & drop your candies all around you when you run into a ghost. First to pick up all your candies, wins!

The next Magma design I came up with is titled Wolf Moon. Mayhap I should have used grey instead of orange to represent the wolf but I have been told that orange is the color of change so I think it’s appropriate this time of year 😊 Unplayed at the moment. #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #colortheory

There is plenty of outdoor recreation to be had in Parker CO. But we stayed indoors this evening for another ride around the mids. Green nearly lapped me here. But I probably pressed my luck more than I should have by drawing too many bonus cards 😅👍 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #mountainbike

This next shot comes from Alamosa, CO😁 I got up early to sneak out to one of the many arroyos that stripe the southern Colorado landscape for a solo trek. This one didn’t go so well as I didn’t account for the ants that would inevitably want to join in😅 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #bicyclebicycle

On our next stop we headed north to Fort Collins best known for the many craft breweries that populate the area. In this 3 player game we decided to ditch the “pass up” mechanic which has players draw cards to beat the other player in order to get ahead #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #iwanttoridybike

Lightweight and perfectly portable Joseph Kisenwether’s Synapse-Ice is another game easy to remember. Like many pyramid games this is an adaptation of another game and uses a unique mechanic of directional placement that I’m calling pip to point. Check it out!👇😁👍 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #adapt

Did you know Lunar Invaders is adapted from Cosmic Coasters, a game Andy designed to be played in a bar with coins for game pieces, boards printed on drink coasters, & Rock-Paper-Scissors for combat resolution? 15 years later, he adapted it to Lunar Invaders! Have you played yet?

IceSickle by Dan Isaac is one of those quintessential pyramid games. All you need is 5 trios and a 5x5 board. First, seed pyramids by placing them anywhere on the board. Then sow by jumping a pieces pips worth over other pieces to capture. Such elegance 👍😁👍 #LooneyPyramids #boardgames #seedandsow
