Well, those don't fit. Space is really tight, and I don't want to

Sorry to add more confusion but... when you "Tip", can the pieces all
land pointing up? Or must they be lying down? I suspect the latter,
but somehow this wording of the rule seems to allow standing up
pieces, while the version 5.0 wording doesn't. I think it's because
"If a stack, it separates" implies that the stack can merely separate
*instead* of falling over sideways, while the version 5.0 wording
implies that the stack separates after falling over. How about:
Knock over any upright piece or stack. A tipped stack separates,
all pointing the same way.
BTW, if you're short on space, don't be afraid to hyphenate an
occasional long word to help make room! It's a perfectly valid
typographic device.
