  A modular strategy game. The rules booklet has five different game options for two players plus a solitaire puzzle.
Uniquely,  the playing pieces represent two cubes fused together, each cube containing a coloured ball suspended in its centre. When you play your cube, you automatically play your opponent's cube too. This feature gives the game its outstanding superiority over other 3-dimensional tic-tac-toe (3 in a row) games.
Game 1; To be the first player to have three cubes of your chosen colour, in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row.
Game 2; Starts as game 1 but the winner is the player with most rows of 3 cubes of their chosen colour. Pieces are placed alternately by the two players until all 12 pieces are played.
Game 3; Four in a Square; starts as in game 1 but the winner is the first player to get 4 cubes of their chosen colour, as a vertical, horizontal or diagonal square.
Game 4; Four in a row. Use a 4 x 4 grid and play as in 3 in a row but the winner is the first player to get four in a row. When all 12 cubes have been played without a 4 in a row, the next move is to take off any one of the top pieces and use it again elsewhere.
Game 5; Four in a row (horizontal game). Use a 5 x 5 grid, the winner is the first player to get a four in a row.
Game 6; A puzzle to complete for 1 player.
