Rules summary
Overview
Dice Pyramid is an adventure dice game where you complete challenges to collect powerful relics that can be used to affect your dice rolls.
Objective
Collect the Ankh from the pyramid's treasure room to win the game!
Turn Structure
Roll all 5 dice.
Twice per turn, you can re-roll any number of dice.
You can use the ability of any relic you own anytime. A relic is discarded when used.
If your dice match the challenge of a room, you can take the pyramid card to your side and rotate it so the relic part is up. You can’t have more than 5 relics. If you obtain more, choose and discard down to 5.
If your dice match several challenges, you chose which one to complete. When you take a pyramid card, if it was the last card covering a room, that room is now open. Flip it face up. Next turn you can also attempt its challenge.
If at the end of the turn your dice do not match any challenge, discard a relic to start a new turn. If you don’t have any relics to discard, you lose.
When (if) you match the challenge of the Treasure Chamber, obtaining the Golden Ankh relic, you win.
Reading the cards
While both the rooms and the relic have a description that explains what the cards does, most of the card is used by the hieroglyphics that represent both the challenge and the relic ability.
They are easy to decipher, and the game is more fun when you use them.
