Phalanstery - Looney Pyramid Games Wiki

Stylus (@[email protected])

Attached: 2 images why yes, I am designing my own [Looney Pyramids](https://www.looneylabs.com/pyramids-home) in OpenSCAD. These game pieces are used in a variety of (mostly abstract strategy) games, and can be placed on top of each other in "trees" or "nests" There are multiple designs on thingiverse & printables, including an OpenSCAD design. I've printed several other designs and, unavoidably, thought "can I do this better?" My WIP has two features I didn't spot in any of the 3 designs I looked most closely at, to improve taking apart the pieces after they've been nested (a kind of stack where the 1-pip is under/inside the 2-pip, the 2-pip is under/inside the 3-pip, or both). First, the bottom part of the pyramidal shape is replaced with a vertical surface right at the build plate, to try to ensure that elephant foot doesn't make the parts as-printed interfere when shoved together. Second, there's an interior feature to dig a fingernail into when trying to separate a pair of pyramids. I don't have any official pyramids but my pieces don't *quite* match the geometry of any of the other sets I've printed. If I end up satisfied with the design I'll post it up on printables. #3dprinting #looneylabs #looneypyramids #icehouse #openscad

Zendo

The classic puzzle game of inductive logic is back, purer and clearer than ever! Beautiful crystalline pieces in three shapes and three colors are used to build structures marked by the Moderator according to a secret rule selected from a versatile deck of options. The more structures are built, the more information players have to work with, and the closer they get to guessing the rule. Easy to adapt for cooperative play, it's also a remarkably good model of the scientific method!
