Cubiko (2009)

About this game

Bounce the ball onto the 3x3 grid--where it lands you will put your marker. Knock out your opponents and make 3 in a row or 3 in a square to win! Careful though, if the ball knocks markers around the board the situation can change in an instant. "In November 2008 I had the inspiration for Cubiko. I was sitting on the floor of my parent's house with my four year old son. He was playing with his toys and I was rolling a ball onto his toy box. Over time and with much help from family and friends Cubiko evolved into what it is today." -- Gavin Birnbaum, author of Cubiko

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
