Re: [Icehouse] 15 trios in a Pink Treehouse box?

While not as portalable as the Pink Pyramids box, I've been pretty
happy with using a Carcassonne box for my pyramids. (I need to do a
nice covering for it.) Here's a picture:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/316003

The Contents:
Martian Coasters, Playing With Pyramids, Deck of Cards, Tiddlywinks
for Zendo, Zendo Cards, Rules for various games, Pyramids in 9 colors,
Dice (treehouse and four d6), Blue bag from Carcassonne.

Since that picture I've added some poker chips for playing ZÈRTZ and a
cloth chess board. The printed rules got removed and put into a small
3 ring binder that I put piecepack rules in as well.
