- Looney Labs presents a sample game of Homeworlds, a chesslike game of starships and pure strategy and one of the 22 games you can get inside of Pyramid Arcade -- in game stores now! Or find it at www.looneylabs....

Could this be the first show on this generations "ESPN" for brains? This was enthralling.
Quick and dirty guide to the Color actions, you have to have a ship of the color, OR a ship at a star of the correct color to use the appropriate action. Notice the Homeworlds are made of two stars, a "binary system", so have two actions available at that location.
Green - Construct
Blue - Trade
Yellow - Move
Red - Attack
Green for Grow, Blue for Barter, Red for Revolve, Yellow for...Yeet?
Watching this AMAZING play-through of Homeworlds gave me an idea for another stretch goal--a DVD (or DVDr) of ALL the videos about the Pyramid Arcade to be included with the box.
Food for thought.

It would be helpful to use large black dots on the pyramids to indicate what the pip-count of each. The players in the room may have a physical sense of the pyramids used, but when I was watching the video, I could not make out what sizes are lying or standing.

Also, in a future version of the game, it would be helpful to mention what the move is that is being performed. That should not be too difficult with a reenactment. But it will greatly improve the insight in what is going on.

Andy knew full well he was trying to sneak this game past Kristin at the beginning of the video.
My favorite game of the box
I was wondering where the video was. Awesome can't wait to play. :)
Thank you for showing of Homeworlds for us :) I bought several treehouse packs some years ago and still there are many games I so far haven´t tried...but this is a very intriguing game
That WAS a good game. Now I'm all jazzed to play homeworlds again. It's so intense and yet so accessible.
Can I buy a set of those large pyramids..
I'm just now learning Home Worlds and have never actually played it, but at 12 minutes there is a move that was apparently a bad move because a ship could have attacked and...won the game? I'm not sure I follow how that person could have done it. It turned out to be a mistake, but if it did happen I just want to know why it was a bad move and how the other player could have taken advantage. Andy almost explained it twice, but never did.Thanks.
This response is 5 years late, but if this is still on your mind: I think the reason why this is a bad move is that Leila could’ve sacrificed her medium yellow and moved her large green twice, once to the small green star, and again to the other guy’s Homeworld. This sets her up to sacrifice her small red to capture the guy’s medium green next turn, removing his ship and winning the game. There’s no real way this guy can defend against that (he can’t move any ships back directly to his homeworld because he doesn’t have any at small stars). Hope this helps.

My conclusions from this video is that this game is total unplayable nonsense, that many people hate so much they absolutely refuse to play it even for a demonstration. Not sure how effective an advert this will be tbh.
I think the thing that is confusing is that Andy seems to favor the destroy half a homeworld option for some reason. It can be a good move but it can also open up the attacker to new threats.
