About the game
What you do in a play session
Buckle up, because chaos is here! In Pyramis, the stakes couldn't be higher: the aliens' home planet has been destroyed, and a massive exodus is the only way out. But don't think you can just hop on a ship and fly away! To survive this desperate escape, you'll need to keep your fleet of rocket-pyramids in perfect order.
This is a competitive card-placement duel where every move is critical. The key to victory lies in how you optimize your layout. If you manage to build the perfect pyramid, you'll trigger powerful synergies that can shift the entire game's momentum. But watch out: it's not just about your own cards. You'll also need to strategically flip your opponents' cards at just the right moment, disrupting their plans while keeping your own fleet intact.
Points are scored in two main ways: by ensuring your ships are correctly positioned within your pyramid structure, and by securing the alien majority on the board. It's a fast-paced, punchy game with that hit of strategy we all crave, but without any fluff. If you're into quick card games with a touch of abstract strategy and a breathtaking space theme, Pyramis is about to become your new 15-minute obsession!
