You
remove cubes from the board by forming "chains" of
three or more adjacent cubes of the
same colour. Diagonals do not count.
That is, to form a chain, cubes must
be touching face-to-face, not edge-to-edge
or corner-to-corner. The main object
of the game is to clear cubes from
the three levels as fast as you can
by forming chains of three or more
cubes of the same color. A game of
Cubis consist of three levels. Each
level begins with a number of cubes
already arranged on the board. You
add additional cubes to the level,
one by one, as you play.
You can choose
any of the seven rows or columns
in which to add the
next cube. Cubes can only be added
from the two front sides of the
board, not from the rear two sides.
Added
cubes slide along their row or
column until reaching a cube that's
already
on the board, or until reaching
the far end of the board. When you
form
a chain, points are scored and
the cubes that make up the chain
are
removed from the board. Cubes above
them then drop down to fill in
the unoccupied spaces. When this
happens,
additional chains can be formed.
A second or subsequent chain formed
on the same turn is called a "Cubis" and
gives you bonus points.
