## Description

desertcart.com With just four rules, this simple but elegant game from France's legendary Gigamic is easy to learn, and each full game of Pylos takes only 10 or 20 minutes to complete. But its simplicity is deceptive. The game--recognized by Games Magazine's Top 100, Mensa's Top Five Best Games, the Parents' Choice Gold Awards, and France's Oscar du Jouet and As d'Or--falls into that "minutes to learn, a lifetime to master" family of games, like chess or Go. Players stack 1-inch-wide wooden balls (light and dark) on a 9-by-9-inch board to form a pyramid, and whoever places the top ball wins. But clever rules concerning moving and removing the balls will have you second-guessing and thinking ahead to formulate the perfect strategy. --Paul Hughes Product Description One of our best sellers! pylos has won multiple awards around the world for “game of the year”. your goal is to place the last marble which crowns the pyramid. Reserve your marbles by promoting them to the next level or creating groups which allow you to remove marbles from the board. Pylos is a unique and satisfying challenge!

Review: Pylos is a fun game - It's a great game to play. It's essentially a game of resource conservation. It's pretty easy to pick up and learn but it will take time to learn what the best strategies are. Since the game is played going upwards you have to be aware of what is happening on all levels of play when applicable. There are 3 ways to play the game using the beginner's, standard, or advanced rules for play. The beginner's rules I think are great for young children learning how to play. The standard rules are great for adults playing their first few games. The advanced rules definitely give the game a lot more strategies and make you really pay attention to what is happening on the board. The board is not very large but it is well made. It looks great on a coffee table with the pieces stacked into a pyramid or surrounding the board. Great game to add to your collection or as a gift for a board game enthusiast.
Review: Great 2 player game - Fills a bit of time when you have just two people. Strategic and fun!
