Anyway, after listening to the discussion about what new games
could be made to make use of the TreeHouse style sets, I came up
with a new single-stash game for 2 or 4 players where each player
uses a single trio. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Interesting RPS variant, but I think it would get as old as RPS; the
optimal strategy will just be to play randomly, unless you know that
your opponent is using a sub-optimal strategy. A couple points that
need clarification; what happens if both players choose pull, or both
players choose push? I'm assuming the piece stays still, but that
should be specified. Also, the rules start out describing the 4
player game, with the 2 player game as a variant (saying that it
requires a volcano board, with a 5x1 board as a variant), but then
goes on to describe the 2 player game, and list the 4 player versions
as variants. That confused me when I first read the rules.
