[Icehouse] Martian Backgammon?

[Kimberly Terrill]

I tried to teach this to myself via the gamebook. And i tried playing it
with my LFGS manager. neither of us have ever played before and are not
familiar with it. Here isour question.....

When you step on a Singleton and place it at the Re-Entry Point; That is the
5th squre of your Stockpile right? So where does the Re-Entry Singleton go
when all 5 spaces on the stockpile are taken? What if there is a peice in
the Re-Entry Square and your pawn LASt pawn pushes the nest down to that
last sqaure? Where do the Re entering pieces go? Or are we placing them
incorrectly? And do the Re Entry Pyramids have to be stacked in nests or
trees?

I have never ever played this before, neither had Ron (and I have never
played regulsr backgammon before). So It wa like the bilnd leading the
blind. Hopefully we weren;t too far off on how to play. I am sending links
for two pictures. One  were Yellow had 4 comeplete nests on their stockpile
and "Xeno" had pyramids on the Re Entry. The next showing a New Yellow Pawn
pushing the 4 Yellow Nests down to the end. Where do the "Xeno" Re Entry
Pieces go? Or, are we playing totally incorrectly?

** I own only a Yellow  solid stash (and 2 mixed)- So I am showing a
Backgammon with "Yellow VS Xeno Set". At the LFGS Ron has a set of Ice
Towers and we played a one solid color VS another solid color set
