Cube Quest Game Rules

Objective

The goal of the Cube Quest game is to strategically flick your army of cubes towards your opponent’s king cube and knock it off the table, while protecting your own king cube from being knocked off. The first player to successfully knock their opponent’s king cube off the table wins the game.

Setup

To set up the game, each player places their king cube in the middle of their end of the table. The remaining cubes are placed in a group next to each player. The cubes should be within easy reach but not touching the table.

Gameplay

On your turn, you will flick one cube at a time towards your opponent’s king cube, trying to knock it off the table. You can use any part of your body to flick the cube, as long as you are sitting down and not standing up. The cube must be flicked from behind the side of the table, so you cannot lean over the table to flick.

If your cube successfully knocks your opponent’s king cube off the table, you win the game instantly. However, if your cube goes off the table without touching your opponent’s cubes or king cube, it is considered “out of bounds” and does not count as a valid move. Your opponent will then flick their cube towards your king cube.

If any other cube (not the king cube) is knocked off the table, it is also considered “out of bounds” and does not count as a valid move. The cube should be placed back in the group next to the player who flicked it.

Winning the Game

The game ends as soon as one player successfully knocks their opponent’s king cube off the table. That player is declared the winner.

Optional Rules

You can introduce optional rules to the game to make it more challenging or interesting. For example, you can play with a time limit, where each player only has a certain amount of time to make their move. You can also add obstacles or barriers on the table to make it harder to flick the cubes.

Remember, the goal is to strategize and aim your cube with precision to outmaneuver your opponent and knock their king cube off the table. Have fun and may the best flicker win!

Imagine this: I have 50 cubes, all divided evenly between two colors. Each color should have the same number of cubes. It’s like a puzzle, trying to figure out how many cubes I need for each color. I have to make sure the distribution is fair.

Let me break it down for you. I have a total of 50 cubes, so the first step is to divide that number in half. That means each color should have 25 cubes. It’s like splitting a pie in half, ensuring each person gets an equal share.

But here’s where things get interesting. This puzzle is not as simple as it seems. I have to consider the size of the cubes. Are they all the same size? Or do they vary in dimensions? This can affect the overall amount of cubes needed for each color.

So, I have 50 cubes in total, divided equally between two colors. Each color should have 25 cubes. But before I can distribute them, I need to take into account the size of the cubes. Are they all the same size? Or do they vary? This can determine whether I need more or less cubes for each color.

And that’s the challenge! It’s like a math problem, where I have to calculate the precise number of cubes for each color based on their dimensions. It’s a puzzle that requires me to use my logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

So, there you have it. The task of dividing 50 cubes equally between two colors is not just a simple task of splitting them in half. It’s a problem that involves careful consideration of the size of the cubes. But with a bit of math and logic, I’m confident I can solve it!

The Goal of the Game

Your objective is to be the first player who knocks their opponent’s King off the board.

Setting Up the Game

1. Prepare the playing board. Unfold the two halves of the board on a flat surface. Make sure to align the straight edges so that they touch, forming a continuous terrain. The seam divides the board into two equal territories. Each player should sit behind one of the short ends, close to a castle.
2. Choose your cubes. When it comes to playing Cube Quest, you have the option to play as either the red or the blue player. Each player has their own set of cubes with different strengths and special moves. You can mix and match your cubes, but if you’re new to the game, it’s best to start with this basic set: 1 King, 4 Strikers, and 12 Grunts. Don’t forget to return any extra cubes to the box when you’re done.
3. Let’s Start Building! First things first, I need to place my King inside my castle. I can choose to put it entirely inside, or have it partially inside while touching the outside edge. I can even get creative and have it overhang my castle by placing it on top of other cubes! The rest of my cubes can go anywhere in my territory. I can spread them out, group them together, form lines, or even build structures like walls and towers. The only rule is that my cubes can’t touch the line that divides our territories.

Time to Play!

Whoever has a squarer head gets to go first. It’s your turn! Use your finger and thumb to flick one of your cubes. You can flick any cube that belongs to you, no matter where it is on the board. But remember, you can only flick one cube per turn.

The Battle of the Cubes

When a cube leaves the board, it’s done for. That cube is out of the game completely, never to return. But don’t be fooled – if a cube is only partially off the board, it’s not out of the game just yet.

Captured Cubes

In the game of cubes, some sides of the cube can become “captured”. When your cubes are in your own territory, it doesn’t matter which side is facing up. But if any of your cubes end up on the shadow side in your opponent’s territory, they are captured.

When this happens, you must remove the captured cube from the board and roll it like a die. Roll it off the board so it doesn’t interfere with the remaining cubes in play.

This roll is called a release roll. If the cube rolls with the face side up, it has escaped capture. You can immediately place it back in your castle. However, if it rolls with the shadow side up, it is defeated. You have to remove it from the game for the rest of the match.

The game continues with the player who was supposed to take their turn next.

Note: Your cube is considered to be in your opponent’s territory only if it is completely over the dividing line. If your cube touches the line, it is still in your territory.

Miss-flicks

When you mess up and do something against the rules, like moving other cubes or touching your opponent’s cubes or using too much force when flicking, you give your opponent an advantage. They get to flick an extra time on their next turn.

The Game Ends

The game is over when one player successfully defeats their opponent’s King. If, by mistake, you end up defeating your own King, your opponent automatically wins.

If you want to prolong the game, you can play a series of rounds. In each successive round, the loser of the previous round gets the opportunity to make the first move. The player who wins three rounds first emerges as the ultimate champion.

Advanced Strategies

Once you have mastered the fundamentals of the game, you can take it to the next level by customizing your team with a unique combination of cubes. Consult the Cube Guide for guidance on selecting a combination of cubes that must not exceed a total of 40 points. (Your king is excluded from this point total).

After determining your cube selection, double-check your opponent’s team to ensure that their total points are correct.

Additionally, you have the option of secretly arranging your cubes by placing a screen along the dividing line between the two territories. You can, for example, use the box as a makeshift screen.
