Deck-Building and Set Collecting

A very unique deck-building game. It provides a new feel as it mashes together deck-building with set collecting. It provides an interesting balance of utilizing cards in your deck and putting those same cards from your deck into your tomb for points. Very enjoyable. Took longer than I expected to play and it felt like there were many difficult choices to be made. I'm excited to see how the game develops with time and that is How Lou Sees It!


I was provided a copy of this game by AEG for review.

Abstract Strategy

I really enjoy Pyramix. Everyone I have played it with enjoys it. The game is simple to learn and setup with a quick play time. A perfect casual game that seems so simple and yet offers great strategic depth. Good quality product with a very unique feeling game play. My toddler also likes the "triangle" game by building the pyramid watching the cubes slide down. This is a fantastic family game and strategic game that I can highly recommend to just about everyone and that is How Lou Sees It!
