Cubingos

Fur and mien need to correspond

Cubingos are cute little beasties with a fluffy fur coat, but they are temperamental and keep changing the color of their fur and their miens. 13 Cubingos cubes show a Cubingo at each edge, one half on one side of the cube, the other half on the other side. So you can form a complete Cubingo at the edges by setting two cubes next to each other. 16 cards show different Cubingos. The blue starting cube is set out in the middle, the other Cubingo cubes are stock. A card is revealed and each player takes any Cubingo cube – they are all identical – and tries to make up the Cubingo depicted on the card by placing his cube next to the starting cube. The cube can be rotated any which way for this. In this starting round you may only place your cube next to the starting cube, in all following rounds you may place a cube on top of a cube, that is, stack them. This can result in Cubingos formed at a right angle, one half on the bottom cube, the other one on the cube on the second level, shifted by one position.

If you think that you have formed the Cubingo on the card, you call “Cubingos”. The round stops, nobody can place a cube any longer. Then your Cubingo is controlled. If You achieved the correct one, you take the card and take a new cube from stock.

If your Cubingo does not match the one on the card, you take back your cube and pass until the Cubingo is formed. When all cubes have been placed or all cards have been won, you win with most cards.

Cubingos is an attractive spotting game with a 3D component, exactly right for the targeted age group, visual appearance and degree of difficulty suit very well.
