Equipment:

• As many Icehouse stashes as possible, a minimum of 1 per player
• Tiled/checkered playing area, such as a chessboard, but the game has been optmized for a 8*8*8 board.
• A way of indicating height if not enogh pyramids are available (8-sided dice are perfect)
• A way of indicating speed (again, 8-sided or even 6-sided (as you dont want to go very much faster than 6 in most cases) dice are good)
• Markers to use for obstacles and powerups, such as coins (different values of coin can be different powerups) or Icehouse pyramids.
• Several 8-sided die

By keeping track of, and selecting, the speed of your ship you will move around an imaginable arena for space combat, where the galaxy's aces settle the score! But watch out - if you crash into the walls or any of the arenas obstacles, your ship will be hard to control. Goal of the game: To kill your opponents!
