Pylos is a 3D game that combines the warmth of wood with the depth of strategy.

Pylos, a strategic abstract game that beautifully blends tradition and innovation, is a wooden board game designed by David G. Roiphe and published by Gigamic. It consists of an elegant wooden 4x4 board (16 grooves) and 15 light-colored and 15 dark-colored wooden balls (30 balls in total), and its sophisticated appearance is captivating to behold.

Players take turns placing balls of their own color to build a beautiful pyramid, engaging in a battle of wits as they read their opponents' strategies and utilize their own tactics. The completed pyramid will have four levels, with 16 balls on the first level, 9 on the second, 4 on the third, and 1 on the top level. This three-dimensional structure, filled with the wisdom of ancient architecture, offers the joy of watching it take shape before your eyes as you play the game.

A balance of simple rules and deep strategy

The appeal of "Pylos" lies in its exquisite balance of simple rules and deep strategic depth. The basic rules are very clear. Players take turns placing balls on the board, but if a 2x2 square is formed on the board or on a higher level, they can place their ball on it.

Additionally, if you complete a 2x2 square using only balls of your own color, you will receive the bonus of being able to retrieve one or two of your own balls (those not supporting other balls) from the board and return them to your hand.

Ball saving is the core of the strategy

This "ball conservation" element is the core of Pylos strategy. How efficiently you use the limited number of balls, how effectively you prevent your opponent from forming squares, and how effectively you create your own squares are all crucial factors that determine victory or defeat. Ultimately, the player who places the ball at the top of the pyramid, or the opposing player who runs out of balls, wins.

Highly rated for its gameplay that can be enjoyed in a short amount of time

One game can be completed in about 10-20 minutes, so it can be enjoyed casually in a short amount of time. Due to its high level of completion, it has won multiple awards around the world, including "Game of the Year," and is highly acclaimed by board game fans.

A beautiful decorative piece

"Pylos" is not only an excellent game, but also a beautiful piece of decoration. The warm texture of the wood and sophisticated design will enrich any space, even if you just display it on a coffee table or bookshelf. It has a dual purpose, so you can enjoy it as an interior décor even when you're not playing.

Variations in how to play

Pylos also offers a variety of ways to play. For children and those new to board games, we recommend the simple version, which omits the "square of your color" rule. For players seeking more advanced strategies, there is also an advanced rule, which allows you to collect balls when you form a square or a row with balls of your color. Players can enjoy the game according to their level and preferences.

A game that transcends language barriers and is enjoyed worldwide

"Pylos" is written in multiple languages, including English, French, German, and Spanish, but its easy-to-understand visual rules have made it popular with board game fans around the world, transcending language barriers.

Simple yet deep strategic gameplay, easy to play in a short space of time, and a beautiful wooden texture. Pylos is a timeless masterpiece of a board game that combines classic wisdom with modern design. Enjoy the world of Pylos in a variety of ways - enrich your family time, engage in intellectual exchanges with friends, or even use it as interior décor.
