Qwirkle Cubes

Cubes and rolling of cubes!

Dice version of Spiel des Jahres 2011! The tiles have transformed into cubes and you roll those cubes! Each of the 90 cubes shows only one color, there are 15 cubes for each of the six colors, and on a cube each of the six symbols in the game is depicted once, which means that each symbol exists 15 times in each color.

At the start of the game you draw six cubes, roll them once and set them down; the symbol on the top is the active symbol. In your turn you can first re-roll as many cubes as you want and then place one or several cubes into the display to score points. As in the original game you can never put more than six cubes in a row and all cubes in a row must either show the same color or the same symbol. Newly placed cubes must always touch at least one cube already in the display and all newly placed cubes must also show either the same symbol or the same color. You can place cubes in one row only, but can add a cube at both ends of a row. The points you score by placing cubes - one cube for each cube in each row that holds one of the newly placed cubes - is noted instantly and you then fill your stock to six cubes; the freshly drawn cubes are rolled once. When you cannot place a cube you roll your cubes again and again until you can place one. If you place your last cube and cannot draw a cube the game ends, you score a bonus of six points and the player with the highest score wins the game.

As good as Qwirkle, but with a substantially longer playing time, because you think twice about re-rolling and also try to include the cubes of your neighbor, as you can see what he holds in this version.
