New Game Release – Pyradice

Arcane Wonders has released Pyradice, a two-player strategy board game, into retail!

Pyradice is a tense and elegant strategy board game where players take on the role of rival leaders in an ancient civilization, each striving to build the most impressive pyramids. Through clever dice drafting and placement, players must balance short-term advantages with long-term scoring potential, all while anticipating and disrupting their opponent’s plans.

Designed primarily as a two-player experience, Pyradice plays in approximately 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for quick yet deeply strategic gaming sessions.

Players take alternating turns, selecting a die from the shared Quarry Board, placing it into their personal pyramid, and optionally activating special skills that can shift the balance of power. Every decision matters, as the availability of dice and their placement directly influence scoring and future options. The game continues until both players have completely constructed their pyramids.

Final scoring is determined by Objective Tokens placed within the pyramids as well as shared Objective Cards selected at the start of the game. This dual scoring system encourages diverse strategies and ensures that no two games play the same.

For groups looking to expand beyond two players, Pyradice offers a scalable experience. By combining a second copy of the game, it seamlessly supports 3 or 4 players with only minor changes to the quarry setup. The core rules, turn structure, and satisfying gameplay remain unchanged, making Pyradice a flexible and highly replayable strategy game for fans of dice drafting, tactical competition, and ancient civilization themes.

Designed by André Silva, Pyradice is for two players, ages fourteen and up, and plays in around thirty minutes. It retails for $29.99!
