About How They Built the Pyramids
How They Built the Pyramids is a co-op building game for one to eight players online. Everyone has a theory about how the pyramids went up. Yours involves 23,426 bricks, a lot of hard work and a few questionable decisions.
You start by making bricks from Nile clay, then improve their quality and speed up the process. Then you have to get them up there: carry them, throw them to friends or come up with something sillier, and don't stand underneath when it goes wrong. If you need more hands, you can hire Shabti helpers, as long as you keep them happy. Over time a few people carrying bricks becomes a big automated production line, until the 65-metre pyramid is finished.
