Too bad pyramids are sold as Treehouse sets now. What are your options?
1. Buy 5 Treehouse sets (5House?) and use two colors.
2. Buy 3 Treehouses and have colors team up: e.g. blue and green vs red and yellow.
3. Buy two different Treehouse sets and go Rainbow versus Xeno.
(Or maybe Breast Cancer Awareness Pink vs a non-pink set)
Suggesting someone buy 5 Treehouse games just to get 2 stashes is a bit much.
Then again, I think everyone should have 5House so that can play Volcano.

I'd just leave the idea of "capture" out altogether since it has no place in this game. Same with pushing. Maybe just make the move rule reference the properties of the board squares instead of the pieces: "Pieces can not move into or past a square that contains another piece."
