About the game

What is Break the Cube?

Break the Cube is the multiplayer puzzle solving game that will let you go brain-to-brain with your friends! To compete, you will need to build the most complex shape possible behind your screen. Your goal is to recreate the shape hidden behind your opponent's screen before they recreate yours using Break the Code's system of questioning and guessing, but now with a 3D shape! The first player finding their opponent shapes initiate the end of the game. Everyone else will get a chance to guess their respective opponent shape to share the victory. If the challenge is not hard enough, spice up your games with additional rules, like only one final guess, or adding another piece to you shapes! Each player starts the game by building a shape with their wooden pieces behind their screens. On their turn, players can: Asking what their opponent sees from the top of one square. Asking EVERY players what they see in a column or line. Everyone at the table, even the one asking it, must answer this question. Trying to guess the shape once they think they recreated. If it is correct, every other player gets a chance to guess their opponents shape. —description from the publisher
