When all six ponies of the Friendship Council are called away on a friendship mission, Starlight Glimmer is left alone with her thoughts. And she quickly realizes that she should not be left alone with her thoughts. Luckily, Spike is willing to distract her over-active mind, and introduces her to a board game that uses pyramid-shaped pieces. But the game they play is just one of many that use the same pyramid-shaped pieces, as Starlight will soon discover.
First (and hopefully not last) story in the Ponies Playing with Pyramids saga.
Chapters (1)
That's odd. I didn't know this was a Twilight story.
I like this.
…Why do I suddenly feel like Starlight is getting hustled?
Hmm. The Pyramids of Mars, anyone?
It's a fun story, though I sort of wish I had some pyramids of my own to keep track at home.
With it's couple of tens of millions states that game is not dynamic programming-proof
The game is not acyclic, so ties are quite possible.
Very cool, the board game concept isn't one done very much at least like this where the actual game is the main focus. The rules and moves were very well explained and everyone was very much in character. Plus the lore of the pyramids was very nice.
