CubiCup is a board game released in 2004 for 2–3 players and 10 minutes per game. It was designed by Kovács Gábor and its main mechanics are Pattern Building.
Each player chooses a set of colored cubes. The players take turns placing cubes on the board. The player who places the last cube at the top of the pyramid is the winner.
CubiCup supports 2–3 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 CubiCup is 10 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.
CubiCup 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.
