What is Pyramidice?

On the Giza plateau, the best architects of ancient Egypt are called to imprint the mark of the Pharaoh. It's not just a matter of building tombs, but of erecting actual engineering masterpieces, monuments that will be worshipped and that will forever raise the honor of the Pharaoh to heaven. The competition among architects is a snake hiding in the sand ready to attack; project building and worker management mingle with the worship of the gods. Wisely choosing which god to ask for blessing will be crucial for your fame to outshine all others, ensuring the immortality of your name. Hold tight to your precious Scarab and with the power it infuses you, be ready to make Egypt the most incredible place in the world... Pyramidice is a game of dice and card combos that makes timing and control of the opponents' strategies a core element. Fast and deep, the game boasts high replayability and different strategic paths to pursue victory. In the solo mode, you challenge one of the great architects of ancient Egypt: Snefru, Hemiunu, Amenhotep, or Imothep. —description from the publisher
