Cube Quest

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a gigantic fight. Two kings had fallen out and had decided to wage war on each other, determined to rid the planet of the other king. The battle has now been going on for years and both of the kings have suffered heavy losses. Now, in a last gasp attempt, they have rallied their supporters one last time to go and win this war once and for all! You are one of those kings…

Cube quest is a two player flicking game, where the aim of the game is to knock your opponent's king cube off the playing mat. You do this by taking it in turns to flick your cubes, trying to hit your opponent's pieces and eventually hit them off the board. If you flick one of your cubes into the other player's half and it has a shadow face showing on the top of the cube then it is captured. Once a cube is captured, you have to roll the cube like a die. If it lands with a coloured face up, the cube escapes and is immediately returned to your castle, if not, the cube is taken out of the game. Some cubes have more colour faces which makes them more likely to return to your hand if captured, meaning that some cubes are better than others at attacking. There is also an option as you get better at the game to customise which cubes you have, and hopefully make the perfect army.

Personally, I really enjoy cube quest because A, it is a really fun dexterity game, where you can choose how complex you want it to be and B, I'm really rather good at it. You could start with a pre-generated army and get straight into the flicking, or you could carefully build you own. The choice is really yours. Unfortunately, I don't get to play this game very often as, when my family has time to play games, we normally want to play a four player game. As well as that, my sister complains that it hurts her fingers when she flicks (seriously). So if you are a family looking for a game to play together then this may may not be the one for you, but if you are an child that has lots of people available to play games with, then I would definitely check this game out.  Overall I would give this game a 7 out of 10.
