Review of The Crumbling Pyramid
"From the moment I cracked open the VHS box (huge fan of these!), read the instructions and set up the game, The Crumbling Pyramid instantly became a go-to game. It offers excellent replayability with difficulty levels ranging from Easy to Legend.
The game is quick to set up, learn, and play, yet offers a challenge that’s not so easy to master. As you venture through the pyramid, every chamber is packed with possibilities: injuries, curses, mummy encounters, danger rolls, valuable treasure (supplies/health), Egyptology notes for re-rolls, letters from home and supplies for dice manipulation, and even the ability to drop a torch to revisit chambers. Be warned, there is a good chance some of your team members will perish along the way!
Don’t get overly confident, the pyramid can crumble behind you, blocking paths, extinguishing torches, and injuring your team. And as if that’s not enough, poison is another threat that can quickly take down a team member if you lack supplies, proper locations, or luck.
Even after navigating every chamber, escape isn’t guaranteed. The Escape Card reveals one final, tough challenge. Flip it, read it, and cross your fingers because only then might you successfully resolve the card and escape to daylight once again!
I highly recommend Legends of Expedition: The Crumbling Pyramid. It offers a ton of adventure in a small VHS box. While it stands strong on its own, the game could build upon what it has with the addition of future expansions.
If you’re new to Upsize Fun games, definitely check out their other games for more exciting and unique adventures!"

If you have a small window to get an adventure in, I think this game will scratch that itch.
