Habermaaß game nr. 4220

Pyramidos

A flicking game of skill for 2 – 4 players aged 6 to 99, with 3-D assembly.

Authors: Kirsten Becker & Jens-Peter Schliemann

Illustrations: Ales Vrtal

Length of the game: approx. 15 minutes

Five building blocks are lacking before the pyramid is finished! Can you

help the master builders and bring the missing blocks to the pyramid? But

watch out: the track across the Nile is not without its perils. Strong waves

hinder you from moving on and sometimes dangerous crocodiles take a

snap at you.

Contents:

4 quarry tiles

20 colored wooden balls

1 big wooden ball

1 game board consisting in various parts (upper level = river, 2 strips

with poles, thick crossbar, net with rubber bands, 4 fixing balls)

1 set of game instructions

Aim of the game:

Who will be able to help construct the pyramid by skillfully transporting the

building blocks (balls) thus collecting the most points?

The pyramid is to be constructed on the building site shown and should

consist of five balls: four of them form the base and one ball on top.

Preparation:

First assemble the game board:

take quarry tile

and 5 balls of

corresponding

color

practice

nudging/flicking

until ...

… ball falls off

... lands on bank

Each player gets a quarry tile, takes 5 balls of the corresponding color and

places them in the dips of their quarry. Get the big ball ready.

How to play:

Whoever has most recently seen a real crocodile may start.

If you can not agree, the youngest player starts.

• The big ball

The player decides if they want to move the big ball: it closes a big open

crocodile’s mouth. The player can move it before or during their turn

once from one crocodile’s mouth to another.

Then they take one of their colored balls and place it on the starting square

and try to nudge or flick it as close as possible towards the construction

site of the pyramid.

• Important: You can nudge the ball several times over and over again.

The player decides if they want to nudge the ball vigorously risking long

movements or flick it carefully to reach an adjacent hole.

• If the ball lands between two holes and does not roll in, you can blow at

it to get it moving.

Your turn ends as soon as the ball ...

• ... jumps off the upper level or falls through the mouth of a crocodile and

lands in the net. In this case the player has to return the ball to the

quarry.

• ... comes to rest on an earth square (riverbank or nearby the pyramid). In

the next round the player can go on playing with this ball or bring a new

one into the game.

board

Put the strips with the

poles on the table and

connect them by sticking

the cross-bar into the

holes of the strips. Pull

each of the four elastic

ribbons of the net over one

pole.

Place the upper level

showing the river track

onto the poles and screw

tight the four fixing balls.

Moving the balls

The balls are to be moved from hole to hole.

It is not so easy! Practice a little before starting to play.

Whoever’s turn it is puts one hand underneath the track of the river

and places their forefinger directly

underneath the ball. Now the ball has to

be nudged with some energy – so that it

rolls or even jumps out of the dip and

lands in another hole.

You may get up and walk around the

table in order to have a good position

from which to reach the ball.

Whoever wants can also try to move the ball by flicking it with their

forefinger from underneath.
