In this game, the players take on the roles of architects of Ancient Egypt that have been summoned by the Pharaoh to build his tomb. The architects are competing against each other to make sure their legacy as a builder is preserved, so they must do their best to skillfully time the manipulation of their opponents' tactics as well as have a little help from the Gods. They will use combinations of cards and dice to both thwart their opponents and help themselves ascend to victory and achieve fame.
Pyramidice is for one to four players, ages 12 and up, and plays in 30 to 60 minutes.
