	Description Edit \| History

This is a perfect information abstract game with a light theme of computer programming. Each player builds a small program that then modifies itself and the other programs on the board, trying to isolate the instruction marker of the other players so that it's the only running program in the memory.

The game can be played with Icehouse pyramids (a Treehouse set per player), with the piecepack game system (one set for 2 players, 2 sets for 3-4 players) or with a standard deck of cards per player plus some pawns.

Color Play Aids (Rainbow and Xeno)

Two play aids to use with the game if you've already got a Volcano board and don't need to print it. Just place near the board on your side and use it to store the unused pyramids ordered by color.

2 player board for mixed sets (1 Xeno and 1 Rainbow)

A 5x5 board with labeled spaces to keep the unused pyramids ordered by color. Best for 2 player games using mixed types of Treehouse sets.
