Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

• Color matching and area control — Colors don't have to match to place tiles, but matching colors helps create contiguous color areas that score.
• end-of-round scoring and multipliers — At the end of each round, gem placements on the pyramid act as multipliers on the points from colored tiles; placed gems disappear and some gems can be carried forward.
• Gem management and wilds — Gems are placed on tiles and colored gems score points; clear gems act as wilds and can substitute for any color.
• Pyramid-building constraint — Tiles must completely touch existing tiles; no half-C shapes or diagonal placements.
• Round-based progression and carryover — Players progress through multiple rounds (four layers pyramid); a few gems can be carried forward to future rounds.
• tile drafting and placement — Choose one face-up tile to add to your pyramid, ensuring it fully touches an existing tile and does not extend diagonally.
• tile placement — Choose one face-up tile to add to your pyramid, ensuring it fully touches an existing tile and does not extend diagonally.
• Variable player count and components — Supports 1-4 players; optional play mat to organize tile stacks and add tactile components.
• Variable Set-up: Player — Supports 1-4 players; optional play mat to organize tile stacks and add tactile components.
