Pyramido is a light game that unfolds in a very satisfying way. A pharaoh has asked architects to compete to make the most splendid pyramid to usher him into eternity. Each architect builds their own structure out of colored dominoes, rising four levels and encrusted with jewels, with the highest-scoring pyramid winning the honors and the game.
There’s no game board in Pyramido. Instead, all players draw tiles from a quarry to build a 4×5 (or 5×4) pyramid
