What to Expect

In Pyrami-dés, you roll three dice, pick two, and either add or multiply their values. Then you place a token on the corresponding number in a pyramid, starting from the bottom. You have three wild tokens to place extra markers on valid pyramid spots and three chances to use an opponent’s unused dice. This creates a blend of luck and tactical placement.

Who Is This Game For?

Pyrami-dés suits families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy simple dice mechanics and math puzzles. With a 30-minute playtime and a solo mode, it fits shorter sessions and solo play. It’s an accessible family game with easy-to-learn rules.

How It Works

The core mechanic is dice rolling: roll three dice, choose two, then add or multiply their values. Place a marker on the pyramid starting at the base. Use three wild tokens for extra placements, and three opportunities to take unused dice from opponents add a light interactive element. This mixes chance with strategic token placement.
