La Pirámide del Faraón is a board game released in 2013 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Luis Fernando Marcantoni and its main mechanics are Tile Placement and Memory.
In The Pyramid of the Pharaoh, players compete to build a pyramid and find the symbols of building stones in search tiles that are in the center of the table. The requirement increases with the progress of the pyramid. The player who completes their pyramid and gets the approval of the gods is the winner. ________________________________________________________________ La Pirámide del Faraón es un juego de mesa divertido y con reglas sencillas que pone al límite la memoria, el intelecto y la imaginación de chicos y grandes. Los jugadores compiten por construir una pirámide y para hacerlo deben encontrar los símbolos de las piedras de construcción en las losetas de búsqueda que se hallan en el centro de la mesa. La exigencia se incrementa con el progreso de la pirámide. El jugador que culmine su pirámide y consiga la aprobación de los dioses será el ganador.
