System requirements
--------------------
The Great Pyramid runs on IBM compatible computers (PC).
It requires:
- Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4 (or later).
- Any pointing device such as a mouse.
- A sound card and speakers in order to be able to hear the sounds and music.
However, the game will run properly without sound devices (but without sounds).
Installation
--------------
Run the autoextractible file gpyramid.exe that you have downloaded.
Once the files have been unzipped, run the setup.exe
and follow the instructions.
Uninstallation
---------------
Click the 'Start' button. Select 'Settings' and click
on 'Control Panel'. In the Control Panel window, double-
click the icon 'Add/Remove Programs'. In the list, click
on 'The Great Pyramid' and click on the 'Add/Remove' button.
The Game
---------
This game is similar to the traditional 'President' card game
also known as the 'Asshole', but with some differences and
additional features:
-There are 5 players: the Slave, the Soldier, the Scribe,
the Prince and the Pharaoh. At the beginning, the Slave gives
his two best cards to the Pharaoh, the Soldier his best card to
the Prince, the Pharaoh gives two cards of his choice (usually
the worst) to the Slave and the Prince gives one to the Soldier.
The Scribe does not swap.
-The Great Pyramid is not played with a normal 52-cards deck
but with a special one made of 72 cards distributed in 6 colors
plus three extra cards, the Gods (equivalent to Jokers).
-The Great Pyramid is not an endless game like the normal
'President' but the player has to remain Pharaoh (the highest
rank) 6 times consecutively in order to build his pyramid.
-All graphics, cards, background... are made in an egyptian
style that I hope you will like.
