Quotes (from this video)
- This is a worker placement game about the famous Orloj astronomical clock in Prague.
- It is a deck building game from CGE all about we are running sci-fi jalopy broken down um mining equipment trying to build the best deck to go deeper and deeper into the mine to find the minerals and bring them back all the way up so we can sell them so we can buy more cards deck builder style to upgrade our operation as we race to be the first to make the most progress and clear out the most corridors and whatnot to trigger the end of the game.
- Your draw pile in this deck builder, you always see the next card that is coming. It is always face up.
- This was the best game of last year.
- I don't like train games. I am so sick and tired of train games.
- it totally lives up to the hype.
- this game is absurdly expensive.
- And um it is also its box is absurdly huge.
- The real secret sauce here is the dual use components.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dice Drafting — Players draft dice from a central area, with restrictions on which dice can be taken based on visible edges. This is compared to drafting in Seven Wonders Duel and Dragon Castle.
- Objective Cards — Players aim to complete objective cards for points, with four unique objectives used each game, assigned to specific die colors.
- pyramid building — Dice are placed in a pyramid structure, with rules dictating that a die must be supported by two dice below it to be placed in a higher row.
- Set Collection — Players score points based on having the majority of certain colored dice or collecting dice of specific values for objective cards.
- Variable player powers — Each player has different skills, represented by double-sided tiles, that can be used during the game to manipulate dice or scoring.

Quotes (from this video)
- So naturally, I'm going to be looking at a game called Pyramidice.
- Now in Pyramidice, each box lets you play with two players, but you can combine two boxes for four players.
- You have to place on the bottom row to start with and then as you place more and more dice, in order to place above here, like if I was to place here, it needs to be supported with two dice below it.
- So it kind of has to build, you know, with gravity if you will.
- The dice numbers and colors definitely matter, both of them, um for the objective cards.
- It's probably the part I like the most about it.
- No fiddly rules, it just thematically makes sense.
- The only negatives I can say about the game is stacking up the dice can be a little bit of a pain in the butt at the beginning of the game.
- Fantastic little game.
- If you like Dragon Castle, you'll love this one and that's Pyramidice.
