Product Information

Any player turns over the top Q-bitz card. Players roll all of their cubes on the table like dice. Using the cubes as rolled (face up), players place as many cubes as possible in their tray to recreate the pattern shown on the card. Vastly different game experiences are possible because of the skill involved in recreating the patterns on the cards. A lot of the recommendations below are based on the fact that adults may have an unfair advantage over younger players (ages 8-10) when it comes to manual dexterity (but don’t assume that for all children!) Here are some suggestions when bringing out Q-bitz on family game night and young players (ages 8-10) are included. Remember the goal is fun! Keep things calm: Since the game rounds end when a player completes a pattern first, tension can rise and excitement can make things very frantic. Remind younger players that if they slow down they will make less mistakes and have more control.

Round 1 – race to recreate the pattern shown on the card using your set of cubes, rotating the cubes in anyway. Be the first player to complete the pattern and you win the card! Round 2 – roll all 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. Be the first player to complete the pattern and you win the card! Round 3 – players have 10 seconds to study the card. Then the race is on 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! 2 – 4 players.
