Fun finds - the joys of re-sorting a collection:: Battlestar Galactica Pyramid Game

 While re-sorting the many items I have, this one came to light in another forum and I decided to give it a feature here.


I have this 55 card set from a convention purchase sometime in the early 1990s, around the same time I came across the "L" cubit replica.

Sometime in the mid-1990s I learned how to make my own RTV molds and made a mold of that cubit.  

oh so many cubits now!

Since the early 2000s I found the other 'curved' symbol cubit at an expo in Victoria.

my rings are gold


After that event I made another better mold of both replicas (one was metal the other resin) and then turned out enough cubits to be able to play a reasonable 'game' of Pyramid.  I recall at least once playing for jelly beans in the later 1990s, then at least two runs of the game with the new cubits.

These cubits got a fresh coat of paint about two years (yharen) ago, though mostly poker with Jeff's old clay chips has been played.   

 

maybe it is time for a game?
