A complicated puzzle used by the Celestial Toymaker. It was used to occupy the Doctor while Steven Taylor and Dodo Chaplet attempted to defeat the Toymaker's toys and regain the TARDIS. The game involved placing a number of triangular pieces on top of one another to build a pyramid, never placing a larger piece atop a smaller one. The Doctor was restricted being both invisible and mute for the majority of the game, yet still physically moving his triangles, while the Toymaker was able to vocally instruct the game to make his moves for him. When his companions finally secured the TARDIS, the Doctor attempted to make his final move, until he realised that to do so would still enable the Toymaker to win and leave the time travellers as his playthings for eternity. The Doctor eventually won by making his final move, number 1023, but from inside the recovered TARDIS, mimicking the Toymaker's voice. The Toymaker's Realm was destroyed and the TARDIS escaped.
