It has the following features: Gaming table playing board with a picture of Andy, Kristin and Alison, as well as a d6 to Treehouse die conversion chart and a d8 to compass die conversion chart Scoreboards playing board Volcano Generic Game status playing board Game status chart (can be placed on the gaming table in lieu of using the game status playing board) Turn counter (can be placed on the gaming table in lieu of using the game status playing board) Complete set of tile libraries so you can create your own gamebox specific to your favorite pyramid game 10 of each size and color pyramid 5 of each color Volcano caps Volcano boards 3x3 4x4 5x5 6x6 2 sets of Martian Coasters, 1 set marked for Xeno (for ?berMartian Coasters), each set packaged with and without the promo coaster 8x8 chess board (1 side with black & white squares, the other side with red & black squares) Homeworlds Board Good alignment cards Evil alignment cards Twin Win Rainbow cards Xeno cards Movement chart Zendo Rules cards White stones Black stones Green stones Blanks Color markers (to indicate who's playing what color) Letter markers (for names, etc) Number markers (turn counters, etc) Turn marker ELBS squares Stash pads I feel that at this point it is important to say that no copyright infringement is NOT intended, nor is it my intention for this gamebox to in any way take away from sales of Treehouse sets, Martian Coasters or any other Looney Labs product. The purpose of this gamebox is for Rabbits to play games with other Rabbits that they may only see once a year at Origins or GenCon, or for those of us who, for whatever reason, will not be able to attend these conventions and meet other rabbits. If approved by the Looneys, distribution of this gamebox will be completely under their control. That said, the following scenarios have been built: Treehouse Martian Coasters (2, 3, 4, and 5-player) Volcano MiniVolcano, 4x4 MiniVolcano, 5x5 Regular Volcano MegaVolcano Compass Volcano Blockade Martian Backgammon Twin Win (Rainbow and Xeno) Zamboni Wars ?berMartian Coasters More to follow... Unfortunately, due to the nature of Cyberboard, turnless games such as Icehouse and IceTowers cannot be played using Cyberboard. Also, Cyberboard currently has a limit of 8 players. I haven't quite worked out how Zendo will be played when Master or Mondo is called. Perhaps a separate email to the Master with the guess would work. Any suggestions would be welcome. If any Rabbit is interested in betatesting the gamebox and any (or all) of these scenarios, please email me at jd4556@yahoo.com. Please note that at this time, there is no Mac version of Cyberboard, only a Windows version, nor do I know if there will be a Mac version. I certainly hope so as it's an awesome PBEM gaming system.
