Gigamic Pylos Pyramid Game

Build a pyramid and try to own its final sphere.

Two players share a small wooden construction site, stacking pale and dark balls into a pyramid. The trick is to conserve your pieces while making your opponent spend theirs. A move that looks helpful can leave someone else doing all the groundwork.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

It turns a tidy geometric sculpture into a contest over who gets the last word at the top.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This is the full-size Pylos Classic, not the travel Mini. The photograph is a close view of a game in progress and shows only some of the 30 balls. Small pieces make it unsuitable for very young children.

Pylos Classic standard wooden game, GCPY, 30 light/dark wooden balls and pyramid board; not Pylos Mini.
