Setup

Place all the pyramids in the center of the table, i.e. the Bank. Each player, in turn, then takes a set of three pieces from the Bank, each one a different size and color, i.e. a three-color tree.

Goal

To get rid of all your pyramids.

Number of Players

2 to 10.

Who Starts

The player holding the die.

Turn Actions

On your turn, roll the Lightning die and take the Action shown. The six faces of the Lightning die show the following actions:

  • DEPOSIT (lightning bolt icon): Return one of your pyramids to the Bank.
  • WITHDRAW (split circle icon): Choose any pyramid in the Bank and add it to your collection. (If the Bank is empty, take any action.)
  • DISPENSE (three triangles icon): Give any pyramid in the Bank to any player other than yourself. (If the Bank is empty, take any action.)
  • TRANSFER (arrow icon): Move any pyramid from any player's collection to any other player's collection (but not the Bank).
  • EXCHANGE (swirl icon): Swap any pyramid held by any player with any pyramid held by any other player (but not the Bank).
  • WILD (burst icon): Choose any action.

Monochrome Liquidation

After taking your turn action (but only then), if you have a single-color trio, you may return all three of its pieces to the Bank. This bonus action is called Liquidation.

How to Win

If you have no 'mids, even if it's not your turn, you win!
