The first version of this game saw the day of light over 25 years ago, when I was a kid myself. Back then, we played it with German Mau-Mau cards. I was messing around with a lot of game ideas, but I noticed quickly that this game was something special. Other kids really liked it. However, life happened and I put the game into a box for quite a while...

​When I was 20, I unpacked the game again. This time together with my girlfriend. She drew some beautiful images for the game and we put them together to form what today is the first prototype of the game. The new design came with new degrees of freedom and its own inspiration - and soon we added the name-giving fire to the game, as well as the special 200. However, life happened again and I put the game into a box for quite a while...

​We got married. We got two kids. We moved to New Zealand.

​When the kids were old enough, I unpacked the game again and showed it to them. They liked it a lot. That was the moment where I thought "maybe we really are onto something here?" - and I started looking for game distributers. A short time later I met Julia from Cheeky Parrot Games, and soon after that, we started making concrete plans to publish the game.

​Beginning of 2018 we found our game artist and he did an amazing re-design of the tiles. They look so amazing now!
We did a lot of play testing, which resulted in some rule changes.
We added the 60s, removed the 0s, made the fire tiles disappear after they burned, and reduced the hand size to 5.
Most notably, we added Explosions - a brain child of my daughter Luise.

In August 2018 we successfully ended our Kickstarter campaign and went into production.
And NOW(!), since December 2018 you can buy Flaming Pyramids at your local gaming store.
