 [icehouse pyramids](https://looneypyramids.wiki/) are great. you can stack them and put them on your fingers and you can play all sorts of board games with them. like homeworlds! and [zendo](/zendo/)! and a bunch of others but those are the main ones.
 you can get a nice plastic set of pyramids from Looney Labs, but it's also encouraged to make your own. I designed some papercraft pyramids with colorblind-friendly printed suits on them!

 ## classic "martian geometry" edition
 these pieces can be folded from a square, origami style. Print templates [here](./martian-geometry-v1_2_4.zip).
 TODO: later I will write my own folding instructions for these. for now please use this [mirror of Bill Adams' method](/m/www.iglou.com/biladams/IceHouse/).

 ## knifebot edition
 these pieces are much easier to fold, but need to be pre-cut with a tool like a Cricut or Silhouette. source files [here](https://github.com/nycki93/pyramides-papyrium/).

 <h1>Origami Icehouse Pieces</h1>
 <!-- archival notice added by nycki -->
 <p><em>Written by Bill Adams. Archived from <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20050521082358/http://www.iglou.com/biladams/IceHouse/">the wayback machine</a> on 2026-02-14.</em></p>
 <!-- end archival notice -->
 This model is based off of <a href="http://www.suberic.net/~dmm/games/oihp.html">Denis Moskowitz's</a> pieces, but I modified it to be sturdier, stackable, and requiring no tape. 
 <hr/>
 <img alt="01" src="01.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Take a regular square sheet of paper.  I've used origami paper to show which side will be visible.  To duplicate the sizes of the icehouse pieces, use the following dimensions:
 <li>Small 3 1/16"</li>
 <li>Medium 4 1/8"</li>
 <li>Large 5 3/16"</li>
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="02" src="02.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 use mountain folds for the diagonals and valley folds for the vertical and horizontal folds.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="03" src="03.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 collapse the fold so that the hidden side (in this case white) is on the outside.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="04" src="04.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 bring the bottom of the front leaf up to the top.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="05" src="05.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Repeat for the other three sides.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="06" src="06.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="07" src="07.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 This form is called a "blintzed waterbomb base."  It the basic form of Moskowitz's pieces, but the blintz will allow us to make the pieces stackable.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="08" src="08.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Take the left leaf and fold it about a third of the way along the top point.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="09" src="09.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 fold the right leaf over top of the left leaf.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="10" src="10.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Turn it over and repeat the last two steps.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="11" src="11.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Unfold the paper.  You should be able to see the guide folds we will be using.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="12" src="12.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Turn the paper over and step fold one edge toward the corner to its left using the pre-existing folds.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr /><br />
 <img alt="13" src="13.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 fold the flap in the rear to the left while folding it along the edge.  This is referred to as a rabbit fold.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="14" src="14.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Fold the corner to the right, making sure that the second layer is completely folded.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="15" src="15.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 fold the inner layer back to the left, making a crease that goes along the center line.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="16" src="16.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Open up the center pocket and push it flat, thereby separating the two corners.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="17" src="17.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 You now have one edge completed.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="18" src="18.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Repeat the above steps with the opposite edge...
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="19" src="19.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Unfold the paper..
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="20" src="20.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 and repeat the process with the other two edges.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="21" src="21.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Carefully refold one of the two edges.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="22" src="22.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Move the right flap under the flap below it.  This is an optional move, but it helps keep the piece balanced.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr /><br />
 <img alt="23" src="23.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Do the same for the other side.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="24" src="24.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 At this point, the piece can be flatened out in order to solidify the creases.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="25" src="25.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Now all that remains is pushing the points inward.  Here's the first one done.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="26" src="26.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 One more to go...
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="27" src="27.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Finished.
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="28" src="28.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="29" src="29.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 <br clear="all" />
 <hr />
 <img alt="Boxed Set" src="BoxSet.jpg" height="480" width="640" align="right" />
 Here's a boxed set I created for a friend's birthday.  I got the paper from flyers off bullitin boards; four sheets of each color is enough to create a stash. Here are four stashes set up to play Mini-Volcano.<p>
 Unfortunatly, I can't provide directions for the box, but look for the book called "Origami Boxes" by Tomoko Fuse.  It has the instructions in it (warning, a lot of patience is required in order to put it together.)
