Cubus (1987)

About this game

Players together work to build the same stack of boxes. Each of the 48 rhombus-shaped tiles in the game depicts a side of a box. Players build and rebuild, and gain points based on how many boxes they construct. There is also a variant that is all about demolishing a stack of boxes. For 2 to 6 players ages 10 and up.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
