Pyramid Arcade Wheel Board: What It Adds to Your Game

Quick answer

The Pyramid Arcade Wheel Board is a decagonal plastic board that holds up to 40 pyramids on their sides, letting you play Petri Dish and Color Wheel right out of the box. Setting it up correctly ensures smooth gameplay.

How to Set Up and Use the Pyramid Arcade Wheel Board

1. Place the board flat on your playing surface: Set the Wheel Board in the center of the table. Make sure it's stable and won't slide during play. The board is about 10 inches across, so leave enough room for player hands and other game components. A common mistake is placing the board on an uneven surface, which can cause pyramids to roll out of their slots. Use a flat table or mat.
2. Arrange pyramids on their sides in the slots: For Petri Dish, place pyramids of matching colors in each slot according to the game's setup diagram. For Color Wheel, arrange pyramids by color around the wheel. Always lay pyramids on their sides—never try to stand them upright. If a pyramid doesn't sit flush, check that it's oriented correctly. Pyramids have a flat side that should face down into the slot.
3. Verify the total number of pyramids: The board holds up to 40 pyramids. Count to ensure you have the right number for your game. Petri Dish uses 30 pyramids (3 per slot), while Color Wheel uses 40 (4 per slot). Using too few or too many pyramids will break the game's balance. Refer to the rulebook for exact counts.
4. Play the game following the standard rules: Once pyramids are in place, proceed with the normal rules for Petri Dish or Color Wheel. The Wheel Board replaces any improvised setup—just follow the rulebook as written. Don't invent your own movement rules. The board's geometry is designed for specific game mechanics; changing them may ruin the experience.
5. Store the board safely after play: The Wheel Board is solid-molded plastic, but it can scratch or warp if stored under heavy objects. Keep it in a flat, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you have the Pyramid Arcade box, it fits neatly inside. Storing the board with pyramids still in the slots can bend the slots over time. Remove all pyramids before putting it away.
