Pylos Abstract Strategy Game

Simple rules, quick rounds and subtle tactics. The object is to save your marbles so you can place a marble at the very top of the pyramid. At the start each player has fifteen balls (light or dark) and takes turns placing them on a board with sixteen indentations in a 4×4 grid. Once four balls have been placed next to one another in a square, a ball can be placed on top, forming a second level; players can then place balls on higher levels until a final ball placed on the fourth level wins the game. 2–4 players. Ages 8+. 15 minute play time. Contents: 1 board, 30 wooden balls, 1 cloth bag, 1 rule of the game.
