About the game
Welcome to Dice Pyramid, a solo game of exploration and skill! Journey deep into the heart of an ancient Egyptian pyramid, where each room does present a new challenge that will test your luck and strategy. Roll the dice and match the challenges you face, from Unstable Stairways to Hall of Hieroglyphics, get powerful relics as you complete rooms and climb your way to the top of the pyramid and the ultimate prize: the Treasure Chamber containing the final riddle. Are you ready to accept the challenge and conquer the pyramid? --- Dice Pyramid is a mint tin single player game inspired by the pyramid solitaire, yathzee and the idea of obtaining power ups to improve your dice rolling as you advance. You'll build a pyramid using 10 of the 15 possible rooms and make your way upwards by matching the challenges of the rooms with your dice. Each room you complete will give you a relic that you can use moving forward, until the last challenge: Five of a Kind.

Questions and answers
Dice Pyramid supports 1 player according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Dice Pyramid is 8–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Dice Pyramid for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Dice Pyramid has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
