The name of the game translate from French to "Pyramid of the Pharaoh". The intro of the game says that "the game has been discovered in archaeological research in Egypt and was designed by a Pharaoh during Ancient era where he invited guests to play a game during his parties where they had to build a pyramid with hieroglyphs carved on a tablet". It is an Egyptian theme card game based on both luck and strategy that is designed for the family with rules very easy to undestand. The goal of the game is to be the first to build his pyramid. In order to do so, the players need collect cards that represent different resources such as workers, materials, tools, administration, royal family and of course a pharaoh. Some cards have negative effect. During his turn, a player can draw a card or play a "Mystery" card which allow him to steal a card from another player, exchange a card, build his pyramid, play an extra turn or protect parts of his pyramid already built.
