Pyradice

About the game

What is Pyradice?

In Pyradice you are part of an ancient civilization whose main goal is to build pyramids. Each player will try to get the best stones from the quarry to create their pyramid and earn the most points at the end of the game. The quarry is made up of 47 dice placed on 3 floors. On their turn, the player takes a dice that has at least 3 free sides and places it at the base of the pyramid or on higher floors if it has 2 dice underneath it. On each floor of the pyramid that the dice are placed, the player gains a bonus that allows them to manipulate the dice that are already in the pyramid (turn 180°, roll again, etc). In this way, they try to have a pyramid with dice that corresponds to the public objectives of each card (having only even-value dice, having only increasing values, etc.). If you succeed, at the end of the game you win the points that could give you victory. Each game box can only hold 2 players. But if you add another box, you can play with 3-4 players. —description from the publisher
