Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures is a board game released in 2025 for 1–4 players, 45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Ikhwan Kwon and Carl Brière and its main mechanics are Tile Placement, Layering, and Open Drafting.
Deep within the heart of a lush and mysterious jungle lies proof of a vanished tribe’s existence: the emerald canopy of Pyramido. Tales speak of majestic pyramids concealed beneath dense vegetation, each cradling precious gems of unimaginable worth. You’ll embark on a daring quest to unveil these wonders. Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures is a standalone game where you become an intrepid explorer venturing into hidden ruins with one precise goal: collect the largest fortune possible! During their adventure, each player uses Dominoes to explore their own Pyramid. As a tile placement game, players take turns choosing a Domino and an available Gem from the corresponding space. To maximize their points, players must create areas with colored gem icons while placing their Dominoes and use Gems of the matching color to activate these as scoring areas. Each choice of Domino and its positioning has a significant impact since the previous stages influence the score throughout the game. A game is played over 4 stages and each stage is scored once completed. Whoever earns the most points wins the game and the title of Great Explorer.
Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures is 45 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 Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures 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.
