Martian Merchants

A Looney Pyramids pickup-and-deliver puzzle game

As interplanetary merchants, shipping and trading goods throughout the galaxy, you race to be the first to bring desired goods back to the inhabitants of your home planets.

Large pyramids represent planets, which form the planetary navigational grid on the playing area. Ships travel between adjacent planets on the grid, which expands as more planets are discovered. The planets of your color are your home planets. Medium pyramids are ships, which you use to travel from planet to planet making deliveries and establishing stations. You control three ships of your own color. Small pyramids are goods, which are the commodities being picked up and delivered by your ships. The inhabitants of each planet desire goods of their planet’s own color. When you deliver a good to each of your home planets, you establish stations there. The object of the game is to be the first player to establish 3 stations, one at each of your home planets.
