Description

Qubic is based on the 1953 Parker Brothers board game of the same name. The game is identical to Connect Four except that it features a third dimension. This means that the player can try to get four in a row in nine different directions instead of three.

The board is 4x4x4 and player and computer take turns placing tokens. In the game each location has a numeric coordinate which the player must type in. There is no multiplayer possible.
