About the game
Demonstrate your powers at the yearly gathering of magicians. Seek the aid of magical creatures and use the different abilities their dice give you. Find your way with the aid of valuable spell cards and win the crowning achievement of your craft: the Opus Magnum. But never ever underestimate the power of the dice! In each round on Ciúb, you will try to make your dice show the combination on one of the spell cards in order to gain victory points. Different faces on the various dice will aid you. After you gain a spell, you will usually need to reduce the number of your dice, so planning ahead for the next round is key. At game end, the player with the most victory points wins!

Questions and answers

Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ciúb has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
