About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an Ancient Egypt adventure, but without the digging! In Pyramix, your goal is to dismantle a pyramid of colorful cubes, one by one, using your wits to collect the best treasures. Each cube has a color and a symbol worth 1 to 3 points. The rule is simple: you can only remove a cube if it has at least two or three exposed faces and isn't touching any cobra cubes. Oh, the cobra cubes! They're worth zero points, but sometimes they're your only option, so be prepared to sacrifice them if you must. As cubes are removed, those above slide down, creating new opportunities and challenges. The game ends when only a single layer of cubes remains at the base. That's when things get exciting! First, all cobra cubes on the bottom level, along with any cubes sharing a face with them, are removed. Then, players check who has the most ankhs of each color. Whoever has the majority of a specific color claims all remaining cubes of that color from the tray. In case of a tie, no one claims them. Finally, just tally up the points from your collected cubes, and whoever has the highest score becomes the pharaoh of the pyramid!
