Playable with Pyramid Arcade

Number of Pyramids

One of the most useful methods to sort games is by how many pyramids they require to play. The most basic unit of pyramids is a "Trio" (one pyramid of each size, all of the same color). With the advent of the Pyramid Arcade, most new games are likely to measure pyramids in Trios.

Trios per Color	Monochrome Stashes
Trios per color per player	Colors per player
One trio per color	One color
Two trios per color	Two colors
Three trios per color	Three colors
Four trios per color	Four colors
Five trios per color	Five colors
Six trios per color or more	Six colors or more

However, historically, games have been be divided into two broad groups: those requiring five-color "sets" (5 Trios, each of a different color) and those needing full, monochrome "stashes" (5 Trios, all of the same color). Most of the games on the wiki use one of these older terms. In nearly all cases, 5 multi-color sets and 5 monochrome stashes are interchangeable terms.

Five-color Sets	Monochrome Stashes
Sets per player	Stashes per player
One set^*	One stash
Two sets	Two stashes
Three sets^**	Three stashes
Four sets	Four stashes
Five sets	Five stashes
Six sets or more	Six stashes or more

Notes:

* you can play all single stash games with one multi-color set but not vice versa

** the Pyramid Arcade contains the equivalent of Three Multi-color sets in BOTH the "Rainbow" and "Xeno" colors (i.e. 3 Trios in all 10 main colors)

Game Length & Complexity

Games that are "Fast" typically take less than 10-15 minutes to play, "Medium" games take 10-30 min (45 max), and "Long" games take anywhere from 30 min to an hour or more. Game complexity is approximate and intended to measure how difficult it is to learn the game and play at a competent level.

Length	Complexity
Fast	Simple
Medium	Medium
Long	Complex

Number of Players

One player	Four players
Two players	Five players
Three players	Six players or more

Other Equipment Required

Boards	Cards	Dice	Miscellaneous
Chessboard (8x8) Volcano (5x5) Wheel board Martian Coasters 6x6 5x6 3x3 Hex	Standard Zark City Twin Win Aquarius Tarot Decktet	Pyramid Color Treehouse Lightning Six-sided (d6) Polyhedral	Tokens or stones Opaque bag Timer Paper & pencil Piecepack Dominoes Letter tiles

Additional Notes

These search pages are still under construction. More sections will be added the the format of the results may be optimized for easier reading / sorting. Suggestions, comments, and feedback are most welcome. Just comment on the discussion page.

Why is my game not showing up?

If you recently added a game to the wiki, it may take a couple minutes for the database to get updated. Please wait a little bit and try again. If it is still not showing up, the likely cause is incomplete or invalid information in the game's Infobox. Please double check your inputs (note: any game with a status of "Hidden" will not show up in the lists). If it is still having issues, please leave a comment on the discussion page and we will try to sort out the issue as soon as we can.
