Pylos (board game)

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Pylos is a board game invented by David G. Royffe and published by Gigamic. Two players are given 15 marbles each. They take turns to make a pyramid in a 4 by 4 square grid (note that 15 × 2 = 4 × 4 + 3 × 3 + 2 × 2 + 1). Simple rules allow them to save their marbles — if possible, instead of playing a new marble, a player may rise one of his already played marbles to a higher position. The winner is the player who saves the most marbles and is thus the last to complete the pyramid.
