About the game
Q-bitz Extreme takes your mind through a visual obstacle course. Players puzzle over how to recreate the patterns on the game cards using their set of 16 cubes, featuring both abstract and geometric shapes. Each round is a race. The first player to correctly match the pattern claims the round and the card. Collect the most cards and you win! Are you ready to unleash your visual dexterity? The game is played in four eye-bending rounds. In round one players race to recreate the pattern shown on the card using your set of cubes, rotating the cubes in any way. In round two players roll all of the cubes on the table like dice and use as many cubes as possible to recreate the pattern shown on the card. Race to re-roll all remaining cubes to complete the pattern. In Round three players study the card, then race to see who can recreate the pattern from memory. If you have your cubes in the correct pattern, or the most cubes in the correct place, you win the card! And finally round four, players race to recreate the pattern shown on the card in its reverse from! Contents: - 80 Q bitz Extreme cards - 4 wooden trays - 4 sets of 16 cubes - Rules
