> Here's a suggestion for a variant that complicates the strategy:

   - Players use four pyramids each instead of two
   - Game play uses two of the rectangular stacking tubes instead of one
   - The player who owns the pieces chooses to play either "even" or
   "odd".  The other player is the opposite.
   - Play occurs as originally described, though on his/her turn a player
   can play a pyramid from *either* player in *either* tube
   - Play ends when both tubes have been "won" or "lost".
   - The game is won:
      - by the "evens" player if he/she either won both tubes or lost
      both tubes, or
      - by the "odds" player if he/she won one tube and lost the other

Offered humbly for your consideration.

Douglas.

ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as
money. Are you a dummy?
