About the game
Pull apart the pyramid! In Pyramix, players take turns removing one cube at a time from the pyramid stack. Cubes come in four colors and are worth 1-3 points depending on their symbol. You can remove a cube as long as two or three faces are exposed and it's not touching a cobra cube. (You can remove the cobra cube itself, but it's worth zero points. With no other options, though, you might have to remove it!) As cubes come out, others slide down toward the base. When only a single layer of cubes remains in the plastic tray, the game ends. Remove all the cobra cubes on the bottom level, along with any cubes that share a face with cobras. Whoever has the most ankhs in each color now claims any cubes of this color from the tray. (In a tie, no one claims these cubes.) Players then tally their points, and whoever has the high score wins.

Questions and answers
Pyramix supports 2–4 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 Pyramix is 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 Pyramix 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.
Pyramix has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
Pyramix belongs to these categories: Abstract Strategy and Ancient. Its main mechanics are Set Collection and Physical Removal. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.
