Synopsis

Palamedes II can be described as "his predecessor, overthrown". As before, your objective is to rearrange a set of dice and put them in a row for elimination. Only sets of dice such as 4-4-4-4-4 or 1-2-3-4-5 can be eliminated, and depending on the set this will result in the elimination of one or more rows of screen dice. Unlike the original Palamedes, this time your character stands on top of the dice, and the growing pile of dice crushes him unless he makes the correct combinations to clear the pile. It's a bit like Tetris and a bit like Klax.

Two modes are available: Mode 1 places your player at the top of a pile that must be eliminated. It can be played alone (alone), against another human (match), or in a quest against the computer.

Mode 2 places your player on an already well-stocked pile, but unlike Mode 1, the piles cannot be rearranged to reach the desired dice, so you must make do with whatever is in the top layer to match all the dice is shown on the top of the playing field. An opposing player does the same, and the first to reach the bottom wins. If both players run out of matching dice, a countdown begins to reveal a new die, and it is necessary to react quickly to find the matching one in your pile. Due to the nature of Mode 2, it cannot be played alone, only in match or quest mode.
