About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an archaeological adventure in Silver & Gold Pyramids! In this fast-paced and engaging game, each player takes on the role of an explorer searching for secret tombs and hidden treasures within ancient pyramids. The premise is simple: you receive pyramid cards and, each round, an exploration card reveals a polyomino shape. Your mission is to trace this shape onto one of your pyramid cards, starting from the entrance. But beware, the path might hide valuable gems, useful torches, treacherous skulls, or even game-altering potions! Covering gems earns you points, torches help each round, skulls cost you points at the end, and potions can give you a hand by erasing skulls. A red 'X' grants you an extra space to draw, but everything must be connected! Completing a pyramid allows you to grab a new one, and completing pyramids of the same color yields special bonuses. The game lasts four rounds, and the final scoring rewards found tombs, collected gems, and lit torches, while penalizing the skulls you couldn't avoid. It's a 'flip-and-write' game that tests your planning and adaptation skills, perfect for those who enjoy quick challenges and tactical decisions.
