🎮 Play Palamedes Us Online (Arcade)

Palamedes is a fast-paced puzzle arcade game released by Taito in 1990. In this unique dice-matching game, you must throw dice from the bottom of the screen to match the numbers on the descending rows of dice above. Matching identical numbers removes them from the board, but the real strategy lies in forming poker-like combinations—such as three-of-a-kind or straights—to build up power attacks that clear multiple rows at once.

How to Play

Your objective is to prevent the descending wall of dice from reaching the bottom of the screen. You control a character at the bottom who can move horizontally to aim and throw a die upwards.

• Insert Coin: 5
• Start Game: 1
• Move: Arrow Keys
• Throw Die: Z

Tips

• Focus on building combinations like straights (e.g., 1-2-3-4-5) or four-of-a-kind. These yield powerful row-clearing attacks that are essential when the board fills up.
• You can change the face value of the die you are holding by rolling it. Mastering this is crucial to complete combinations when the numbers you need aren’t directly above you.
