The Verdict

based on 8 reviews

Positive 0%
Mixed 0%
Charming aesthetic and wonderful cat illustrations that appeal to a wide audience.
High-quality, chunky, and satisfying components, particularly the semi-transparent plastic tiles.
Simple and approachable gameplay, making it easy to learn and suitable for families and new gamers.
Engaging push-your-luck mechanism that encourages risk-taking and creates fun table talk.
Quick playtime, typically around 30 minutes.
Does not significantly innovate the push-your-luck genre.
The gold tile mechanic can feel like a "win-more" feature and may not add much fun to the endgame for all players.
The endgame can sometimes slow down and become predictable, as players are left with fewer placement options.
Tiles can be awkward to stack neatly back into the box due to their smooth material.

The Dice Tower, Bryan DrakeVideo

The reviewer found Purrramid to be a fun and engaging push-your-luck game with excellent components and appealing aesthetics. While he enjoyed the core gameplay and believed it would be a hit with families, he expressed significant reservations about the official winning condition, suggesting a simple house rule to resolve it.

Before You Play, Monique and NaveenVideo

The reviewers found Purrramid to be mechanically sound with incredible artwork that greatly enhances its appeal, despite one reviewer finding the thematic integration not as strong as hoped and the other noting it felt entry-level.

Tantrum House, Little Board GamersVideo

The reviewer found Purrramid to be a beautiful, cozy, and relaxing push-your-luck dice game with lovely production values and easy-to-understand gameplay suitable for almost anyone. However, they noted that the gold tile mechanic felt like a 'win-more' element, the endgame could slow down, and it might not be a game they'd repeatedly return to with children when more engaging push-your-luck options exist.

With the truncated version that we play. Purrramid is a nice family-level push your luck game with some interesting decisions to be made.

Purrramid isn’t going to rock your world, but it is rock-solid. You could do better than Purrramid, but you could also do a lot worse.
