A long-haired hippie named Andrew Looney came up with a way to play a wargame using the utensils on the table at a restaurant. Decided it would be better if there were regularly-shaped pieces instead, and pyramids are groovy, and like waiow man. He called it 'Icehouse.' The original 'Icehouse' game didn't really take off, but the pieces captured gamers's imagination and a shitload of games have been made using Icehouse pieces. Some of the new games have even won awards.
