2-Player Game
Setup
Each player takes 8 pieces in one colour (red or yellow). Both sets are identical.
Goal of the Game
During the game the players build a cube together. The players try to get as many squares in their own colour as possible on the 3 top faces of the cube.
Playing the Game
The starting player is chosen and places their first piece on the board. After that, players take turns placing 1 piece of their own colour on the board.
Placing a Piece
- Pieces must be placed parallel to the sides of the board.
- Pieces must be placed in a stable position on the board, so that they do not tilt and do not knock over previously placed pieces.
- Pieces must be placed within the board. The board can contain a cube with a maximum size of 4×4×4.
- Previously placed pieces may not be moved in subsequent turns, not even temporarily.
When a player cannot place a piece according to these rules, they pass and the turn goes back to the other player.
End of the Game
The game ends when both players can no longer place a piece according to the rules. The players count the squares in their own colour on the 3 top faces of the cube. Whoever has the most squares wins.
Example Game
The leaflet shows a six-round example game (Round 1 to Round 6), followed by the finished cube viewed from above.
Final count:
- Yellow: 4 + 8 + 4 = 16
- Red: 11 + 6 + 10 = 27 (Red wins)
1-Player Challenges
Before starting a game for one player, set up the game board, remove all pieces from the board, and choose a challenge.
- Place the starting pieces on the board as shown in the setup (Opstelling). Some challenges show no setup. Start these challenges on an empty board.
- Place the remaining pieces on the board so that both colour and shape match what is shown in the challenge (Opdracht).
- Starter or Junior challenges use only the 8 red pieces to make a half red cube (4×4×2).
- Expert, Master or Wizard challenges use all 16 pieces to make a red and yellow cube (4×4×4).
- There is only one solution for each challenge. The solution can be found at the end of the booklet.
