sadly, no. i built myself a set from
1. five rainbow stash boxes [http://store.looneylabs.com/Looney-Pyramids-Rainbow http://store.looneylabs.com/Looney-Pyramids-Rainbow]
2. chessex glass stones in black, white and green (the "glass gems" sold for aquaria and decorative bowls also work nicely)
3. a small plastic storage box from daiso shaped like a trunk with a handle; i tried finding a box that would let the pieces be placed neatly within but finally gave up and just toss them all into the trunk.
it ended up being pretty expensive (~$70 for the lot; i believe the boxed game went for ~$40) but well worth it for the amount of enjoyment i've gotten out of it.
edit: there is also a guide to making your own pyramids (lots of different ideas): http://icehousegames.org/wiki/?title=Making_pieces http://icehousegames.org/wiki/?title=Making_pieces
- dang 11y agoWhen people start trading tips about how to make an out-of-print game, it sounds like there ought to be a market for it.
- zem 11y agoi think most of the issue is that looney labs want to be in the business of selling pieces, rather than selling games. they envision the icehouse set as a general-purpose set of game-playing pyramids, with an accompanying rulebook for tons of games you can play with them. they also sell a few more specialised auxiliary items like ice dice and a volcano board, that are only useful for a couple of games, but their core business of making and selling pyramids is probably profitable and high-margin enough that they don't need to get back into boxed games.
