Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures Game Review

Ikhwan Kwon’s Pyramido is a 2023 tile-laying game about placing colourful dominoes to create a pyramid and scoring points based on grouping coloured areas and icons together. In my review of Pyramido I said:

“Pyramido is a handsome game. Colourful tiles, playful icons, bold wooden markers, a vertical build, the tempting façade of tabletop satisfaction. It’s a charming way to spend half an hour or so… straightforward, with just enough decision points and constriction to keep it interesting.”

The game isn’t completely flawless and it sits in a competitive space within the tabletop landscape, but it’s well worth a look if puzzley tile-laying games are your thing. Or at least it was…

Without a doubt, 2025’s sequel Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures is the better game. Designed by Kwon and Carl Brière and published by Synapses Games, it fixes most of the issues with the original’s end game and makes the early game more interesting, all without adding any complexity. I scored the original 3.5 out of 5 (‘Good – Enjoy playing’) and whilst I’m always a little uneasy about the value of ratings since they hide meaningful context and nuance, the new version has jumped up a point.

Within this area of the hobby, Pyramido: Forgotten Treasures is a contender.
