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.

It's "New Eleusis" with icehouse pieces instead of playing cards. Better for those with spatial thinking instead of just algebra.
