![]() I didn’t do as well in the game as I was expecting but I think Pyramid is the type of game that you will get better at the more you play it. ![]() The most words anyone got in a head to head round was five out of six while the most anyone got in the Winner’s Circle was four. After playing the game though the time limit does seem to affect you more than you would think. In most circumstances it shouldn’t be that difficult to come up with a definition that would make most words pretty easy to guess. Having seen the gameshow I have always thought that the game looked quite easy. While Pyramid is quite easy to play, I have to say that I was a little surprised by how difficult it is to get all of the answers in a round. For people who are not familiar with the gameshow it may take a while longer but I don’t see any potential problems teaching the game to a new player. The only thing you really need to pick up are a couple tweaks to the rules that were made in order to adjust the gameshow to the board game. ![]() If you have any familiarity with the gameshow it should take a couple minutes at max to learn how to play the game. I had fun with the board game but it is not something that I would play very often.īeing based off of a gameshow it is not surprising that the Pyramid Home Game is pretty easy to pick up and play. The game is very solid but unspectacular. Basically my thoughts on the board game are pretty similar. It isn’t my favorite but I don’t have any problem watching it if there is nothing better on. On the other hand if you don’t like the gameshow I can’t see you enjoying the board game.Īs far as my opinion on the gameshow I have always seen it as a very solid but unspectacular gameshow. If you like the gameshow you will probably enjoy the board games quite a bit. Your enjoyment of the board games are going to depend pretty heavily on how much you like the gameshow. Some of the board games handle the Winner’s Circle different than the show but the premise is still the same. You play six rounds of the head to head game and then head to the Winner’s Circle. While there are some slight tweaks between different versions of the game, all of the versions do a pretty good job following the gameshow. While I ended up playing the 2003 version of the game, this review will cover all of the games from the franchise.įor people familiar with the television show you basically already know how to play the game. With so many different versions of the game and very few differences between each version of the game, I thought it was just easier to review the entire franchise at the same time instead of taking the time to look at each version by itself. I have already mentioned that there has been at least ten different versions of the Pyramid: Home Game created in the past. The team who has earned more money in two rounds wins the game. The two teams will then compete in another game to see who goes to the Winner’s Circle for the second game. If the team does not guess all of the categories, they earn the money corresponding to each category they guessed correctly. If the team guesses all six categories before the timer runs out, the team wins the max amount of money. If the player wants to pass on a category they can skip to the next category and come back if they have time remaining. If the guesser provides the right answer the clue giver moves onto the next category. Once the round begins the clue giver will list words that fit the first category. ![]() For the Winner’s Circle round the team will have 60 seconds. For the Winner’s Circle round insert the part 2 card for the game you are playing. Winner’s Circleįor the Winner’s Circle round the winning team gets to decide which player will give the clues and which player will be the guesser. After six rounds the team with more points gets to go to the winner’s circle. For the fifth and sixth rounds the team gets to choose who will give clues and who will try to guess the words. After four rounds have been played the team with less points gets to choose their category first. On a team’s second turn the players swap roles. The team will score one point for each word that the guessing player is able to guess. For this round the category is things that pit husbands against wives. ![]()
