A colourful, fast-paced number-building card game from Gigamic, for 2–6 players in around 15 minutes. Race to build the perfect pyramid. Each player starts with 14 face-down cards in rows, topped with a single Star. On your turn, take one of the two face-up cards from the centre and swap it into your pyramid — but choose carefully, because once a card is face-up, it's locked in for good. Only rows in strict ascending order score: a point per card for mixed colours, double for a single-colour run. At the very end, hold your Star for 3 bonus points, or gamble it on one last draw to rescue a broken row. Easy to teach but quietly cut-throat — every swap is a small bet on what your opponents will leave behind. Show more
