    This document provides the rules for playing Lava Flows, a board game designed by Andrew Looney. The game is played on a 3x3 grid, with each player having 6 colored pyramids (3 large, 3 medium) that they secretly stack and then try to move across the board. On a turn, a player can move or slide stacks, bubble pieces up in a stack, eject pieces from stacks, or pass. The goal is to be the first to arrange your pieces on the opposite side of the board as 3 "cinder cones" (large piece topped by a medium of the same color).

    HOW TO PLAY
    On your turn, take one of the following actions:
    • Move a Piece: Take a piece of your color from the top
    of a stack and move it one space, non-diagonally. If the
    space it enters is occupied, place it on top of the stack.
    • Slide a Stack: Move a whole stack of pieces one space,
    non-diagonally, but only if your color is on top and the
    space it’s moving into is empty. Take care when sliding
    the stack not to lift the bottom piece, lest you reveal
    what may (or may not) be hidden underneath.
    • Bubble Up: Move the bottom-most piece in a stack, of
    either color, to the top of that stack. If the bottom-most
    piece is hidden, you must correctly state the color of
    that piece before revealing it. If you state the wrong
    2 FAS T SI M PLE color, or there is no hidden pyramid, nothing happens
    and your turn ends. You may not Bubble up a piece if
    your opponent just did so in the same tower.

    • 3 x 3 grid it in any non-diagonal direction. If any pieces involved
    are hidden, you must successfully announce what they
    are before ejecting the piece.
    • Pass: Take no action.
