Some game principles are so deeply rooted in the general awareness that they are continually relaunched and varied – X in a Row is one of these principles. Cubiko is a very attractive and interesting new way to achieve a number of playing pieces in a straight line.

A wooden frame holds a piece of cloth showing 3x3 squares. The frame is resting on 4 legs to achieve a trampoline effect for the cloth squares. You throw a ball, that must bounce once or several times before landing on one of the squares. If the ball lands in an empty square, you can place one of your markers there. If the ball lands in a square occupied by other markers, you place your marker and remove the other markers. If the ball ends up in a square with your own marker, you can move this marker to an empty or an occupied square, other players’ markers are not removed. You can pass up your move anytime. If a marker is moved to another square by the ball, he stays in this position. If the marker is pushed off the board he goes back to its owner.

If you manage to form a diagonal row of 3 markers you score 4 points, for a straight middle row the score is 3 points, for straight rows of 3 markers in the outer squares of the board 2 points and for 3 markers in the same square 1 point. The first player to reach a pre-set score wins the game.

Cubiko presents pretty variation of a familiar game concept, adding a dexterity component. The game is available in wooden or metal versions, a handy game for summer, sun and garden as well as for your living room.
