[Icehouse] New game: Ziggurat!

I have finished posting the page for Ziggurat on the Icehouse wiki:
http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ziggurat.

It's a Backgammon/Pachisi-like game, where everyone races to bring
their set of pieces to their home, and can interfere a lot with each
other along the way.  It is played on a chessboard on which topography
is imposed, turning it into the ziggurat of the title. (But I also
uploaded a file you can print out which is more adapted to Ziggurat in
particular.)  It uses the extended (8-sided) Treehouse die I mentioned
a couple of months ago; indeed it was invented while designing this
game.  (But you can use the D6 Treehouse die instead, if you wish.)

I've had a lot of fun designing and playing it, and hope you enjoy
playing it too. Comments are welcome!

Regards,
Bryan
