Description
In the dexterity game Universe, up to four players use marbles, dice and disks as ships and flick, roll, or spin their way into the Universe. It's shuffleboard, pinball, marbles, crokinole, craps, bocci ball, and even a bit of golf — but with the fingers — synchronized into one.
You can go for points, planet ownership, or the black hole, and whoever has the most points at the end of a set number of rounds wins.
Universe includes two additional mini games, giving you three games in one.
