Pyramidice announced! — A brand new game from Ares Games

Veteran publisher, Ares Games, just announced a brand new dice and worker placement game set around the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Check out the announcement from the publisher below!

In the Ancient Egypt, eminent architects are challenged to build the biggest pyramid ever seen, using their skills, and praying to Gods

August 25th, 2023 – Upon the Giza plateau, the eminent architects of Ancient Egypt are summoned by the Pharaoh. The challenge transcends mere tomb construction; it encompasses the creation of engineering marvels – monuments destined for veneration, to elevate the Pharaoh’s honor eternally towards the heavens. In Pyramidice, a game of dice and card combos, players compete to build the greatest Pyramid ever seen.

Taking the role of architects, two to four players are challenged to guide their workers through the planning, get the stone for the construction, and ask for help from the sacred cats and the power of the gods.

Pyramidice is based on original dice placement and set collection mechanics, in a contest where timing and skillful manipulation of opponents’ tactics reign supreme. Playing fast, but with a deep gameplay, it’s an excellent introductory game for neophytes, but will also ensnare seasoned players in a suspenseful web that will capture them till the very end. Pyramidice also includes a Solo Mode – one player can challenge one of the Great Architects of Ancient Egypt: Snefru, Hemiunu, Amenhotep, or Imothep.

Pyramidice is designed by Luigi Ferrini (Ensemble, The Golden Ages) and developed by Ergo Ludo Editions, with English edition by Ares Games due to release to retail in December 2023.
