Spyramid (2012)

"Spyramid is a game for the Shibumi set that explores a new victory condition. The board starts empty. Two players (white and black) alternate turns either: - Placing a ball of their colour on an empty hole or platform. - Removing a ball of their colour that supports at most 1 ball on the level above and placing it in another valid location, except above balls dropped. Balls may drop as a result of ball removing. Victory condition: First player creating the 5 vertices of a pyramid of any size wins (example: 4 board corners and the apex). The pyramid can be facing up or down (apex above or below the base). In case of two or more pyramids of different colours being created, the player that did the last move wins. Ties seem to be possible. Note: The pyramid can be of any size (2x2,3x3,4x4). There are 14 pyramids facing up and 5 small (2x2) pyramids facing down. Variant: The pyramid can be also rotated 45 degrees when viewed from above.
