In Pyradice you are part of an ancient civilization whose main goal is to build pyramids. Each player will try to get the best stones from the quarry to create their pyramid and earn the most points at the end of the game.
The quarry is made up of 47 dice placed on 3 floors. On their turn, the player takes a dice that has at least 3 free sides and places it at the base of the pyramid or on higher floors if it has 2 dice underneath it. On each floor of the pyramid that the dice are placed, the player gains a bonus that allows them to manipulate the dice that are already in the pyramid (turn 180°, roll again, etc). In this way, they try to have a pyramid with dice that corresponds to the public objectives of each card (having only even-value dice, having only increasing values, etc.). If you succeed, at the end of the game you win the points that could give you victory. Each game box can only hold 2 players. But if you add another box, you can play with 3-4 players.
Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.
In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.
Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the other players to use them.
The highest scoring window artisan wins!
Karak II is a standalone sequel to Karak, and this second installment adds a more complex layer of gameplay while staying approachable for kids.

To achieve that, they have to collect resources, build and develop their cities, and train new units (represented by dice) to add to their army. Over the course of the game, players will defeat monsters carrying powerful soul stones – and the player with the most soul stones at the end of the game wins.
