I'm a "long-time consumer" of Looney Labs games, and I don't see  
anything un-friendly about Treehouse.  On the contrary, it's the only  
Icehouse pyramid game that I've seen actually draw people to it.

Granted, you now have to buy five tubes instead of four in order to  
play a game designed for the old way of doing things.  But if you're  
a long-time consumer, you probably already have the stashes you need  
to play those, right?  And what you call "purely financial reasons"  
has been adequately demonstrated as making the difference between  
having Icehouse pyramids for sale and...not.

As for reciprocity--didn't Kristin just announce that stashes of grey  
pyramids are included in the LAST CHANCE, available not only Rabbits  
but to everyone?  Don't the Looneys give out free promotional cards  
that are actually useful in their games?

I'm honestly curious.  Besides your personal lack of enthusiasm for  
the game whose rules are now on the package, what do you think makes  
the Treehouse concept an unfriendly change?
