The challenge: Be the first to build a complete and balanced 5 stage rocket! The problem: Rocket parts roll out of the factory on a random schedule and are often mis-routed to other launchpads! Launchpad 23 is played with Looney Pyramids and IceDice dice on a 3x3 board. The dice determine which piece is added to the center of the board and how many moves the current player has to get desirable pieces on to his launchpad and undesirable pieces off of his launchpad or on to opponents' launchpads. Also included in Pyramid Arcade.
