About the game
Who has the best strategy to get their marbles out of the BallCube? Who has worked out how the marbles will fall? In the end, all that counts is to block and open the slots with the pusher in order to get your marbles out as quickly as possible while hindering the movement of your opponent's marbles. BallCube is a mind game for 2-4 people (teams), that encourages spatial thought, tactics and strategy. Game contents: 1 gamebox (consisting of 8 elements), 27 marbles (8x black, 8x red, 2x white, 5x blue, 4x yellow), 2 sets of perforated pusher (each set with 12 pusher, whereby the number and positioning of the holes in each pusher are arranged differently.)

Questions and answers
BallCube supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for BallCube is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
BallCube has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
