Hi Jonas! I guess you're right. Anyway, I wanted to point out that you can find a link to a PDF of the extended rules version on http://www.wunderland.com/icehouse/Treehouse/Rules.html Greetings, Martin -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Jonas Kölker Gesendet: Freitag, 31.

You can only hop the queen I think There must be something we disagree on. Either the terminology, the starting position (of the house) or the set of valid moves (in particular of the HOP type). I assume the terminology is this: queen=3, drone=2, pawn=1 (pip-count-wise). The starting position is this: - Drone pointing left - Pawn standing upright - Queen pointing right (that, or the same mirrored around the pawn, which shouldn't matter) The two HOP moves are these: 1. Hop the pawn onto the drone 2. Hop the pawn/drone stack onto the queen As far as I read the rules (from my treehouse tubes) these are valid HOP moves. Let me know if you think I've gotten any of this wrong. -- Jonas Kölker <jonaskoelker@xxxxxxx> <URL:http://jonaskoelker.ignorelist.com>
