How to Play
1 Overview
CubiCup is a 2-player strategy game. Each player chooses a color and takes turns placing cubes on a pyramid-shaped board. The goal: be the player who places the final cube at the top.
2 Setup
- Each player selects a set of colored cubes.
- The board starts completely empty.
- Yellow always goes first.
3 Building CubiCups
- A CubiCup is formed by arranging 3 cubes next to each other.
- Cubes can belong to multiple CubiCups simultaneously.
- Place cubes anywhere on the board as long as the placement is valid.
4 Turn Rules
- Players alternate placing cubes each turn.
- When you form a CubiCup, your opponent must fill all CubiCups you created.
- If your opponent then creates CubiCups, you must respond accordingly.
5 Special Rules
- Placing the last cube at the peak wins the game.
- If that move completes a CubiCup for your opponent, it may result in a draw.
- Creating two CubiCups at once can secure a guaranteed win.
6 Tips
- Try to create multiple CubiCups in a single move.
- Think ahead — your placement directly shapes your opponent's options.
- Control the center to maximize future placement possibilities.
