The Golden Pyramid is a card driven game, where the players use colored cubes and tiles to collectively build a three-dimentional pyramid.
The unchilded emperor needs a worthy successor to his throne. He declares that the nobles shall together build a golden pyramid. The emperor demands a pyramid that consists of four levels, with the upper levels being build upon colorful artistic colonnades. The one whose contribution impresses the emperor the most will become the new emperor.
How to build a pyramid:
The cubes in this game represent the columns of the pyramid and are bought by playing a card. The number or cubes a player may draw from the bag is determined by the value shown on the card. Cubes can also be obtained from a common market or by trading with other players.
To actually build a part of the pyramid the players need four cubes (second level or higher) and a card that shows the symbol of an available tile as well as a value that equals at least the level that should be build.
Players mainly gain victory points by building tiles and placing cubes adjacent to already placed cubes of the same color.
The Golden Pyramid was one of two Gold Winners of the 2019 Contest X for the Green Box of Games. In order to play the game the Meeple Mini Expansion or replacements (20 white 10mm cubes, 20 black 10mm cubes, a drawbag and e.g. meeples in player colors) are needed.
