Description

User summary
カラフルピラミッド (Karafuru Piramiddo) (Colorful Pyramid) is a Japanese card game which can be played solitaire. As the Pharaoh falls ill, the possible heirs to the throne each builds a pyramid for the Pharaoh. The player who builds the biggest and tallest pyramid shall be the next Pharaoh.

In the game of Colorful Pyramid, you build a four-tier pyramid with stone cards.

There are 64 stone cards in the game, each of which has a color and a number. At the beginning of the game, each player has four stone cards in front of them as bottom tier of their pyramid.

Each turn, you may take one stone card from the six revealed cards. To do so, you must use the power of your stones. Rotate or discard at least two of your cards so that the bottom digit of the total of these cards is equal to the number of the card to be taken.

When you add a stone at second tier or above, look at the two stones immediately below it. Both must share its color or number with the stone to be added.

Instead of taking a stone card, you may rest and return all your rotated stones to upright position.

You win the game when you have made a perfect four-tier pyramid. When the stone deck runs out, the player whose pyramid is closest to perfect is the winner.

Your goal is simple: complete a four-tier pyramid, but to do so, you have many aspects to consider. You must plan ahead, or other players will go ahead of you. Watching your stones built into a colorful pyramid will satisfy your eyes.

ピラミッドを4段まで積み上げる単純明快な目的ですが色と数字の縛りが効いており考え所はたくさんです。計画的に石を購入しなければ兄弟(他のプレイヤー)達に先を越されてしまうでしょう。石を積み上げていく視覚的充足感は楽しさを彩ってくれるでしょう!
