The components also left a lot to be desired as there were only 3 types of pieces but the design was so poor it was unclear which was which. I just didn't really get it and am not 100% I would after a bunch more games. Sound confusing? It is!!! An extreme brain burner puzzle game of spatial visualization. Boxes which you can't see but which must be there for the boxes you do see to be held up are assumed to be there and one is trying to increase the number of boxes which either are there or must be there. Ricochet Robot remains for me by far the best of these types of games as it isn't just about simple speed and the minute after a solution is found lets other players still find the solution and enjoy the game even if they don't win the chip.Ĭubus, a 1986 Reinhold Wittig game, was utterly unique as a puzzle game of stacking abstract boxes, all of which are viewed from a single angle as composites of 2D pieces representing a box left side, right side and top. Brian crushed everyone with 16 while Joe was 2nd with 5. After two cards, I realized this one really wasn't for me. The person best at it basically wins every card and others don't stand a chance unless they start taking random shots or other tricks and those things just aren't any fun to me. Ikarus was a competitive puzzle solving game but, like Flickwerk, IMHO just doesn't work as a game. I also played several other games that were new to me. I'd, as usual, be surprised if my rating ever drifts more than a point. Hopefully it will not lose its luster on further plays. I definitely like this one the most of the bunch of new stuff I have played recently (New England, Queen's Necklace, ?) and have decided to give it an initial 8 which is also generally my buy point (and I will order it in the next few days). Still, I managed to recover and only lost by virtue of having 2 dollars less than the winner in what turned out to be a very close game. I made a mistake at the beginning and paid the most for what was one of the less good provinces. As usual with Knizia, the number of elements and scoring methods is very large but they are each pretty straightforward. Played the newest Knizia, Amun-Re, over the weekend at Joe's. | Games: Mystery of the Abbey Games: Amun-Re, Ikarus and Cubus
