[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_5.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/).
