Pyramidis was designed by the Belgian game inventor Roland Siegers. It was published in 1988 by Iron Crown Enterprises and Flying Turtle Games, and in 1991 by Ravensburger. Pyramidis can be played by two or four players. The larger variant can lead to unfair coalitions, so that only the two-person game will be described. Similar to Rondell, Pyramidis is a stacking game and, at the same time, a mancala game. In 2006, Pyramidis was a discipline of the "U-Con Abstract Games Tournament" in Ann Arbor (Michigan, USA), which was organized by Clark D. Rodeffer.
