Description
Tacticube is a set of games played on an unusual board, namely a cube with a 3x3 array of holes on each side. Players insert pegs into the holes to play. The set includes a stand which allows the cube to stand on one corner.
The five games are
Qbacheck, a checkers-like jumping game.
Go-Mo-Cube, Go-Moku on a cube.
Cubic Tic-Tac-Toe, in which the object is to get three pegs in a row, all on different faces of the cube.
The Mill on the Cube, Nine Men's Morris on a cube.
Cubic Chinese Checkers, which is as you'd expect. This is the only game for more than 2 players.
