Read the full game description

Cubo is a fast-paced dice rolling game played in six rounds with all players rolling their dice simultaneously. The colors and palette of Cubo are inspired by the Holi Festival of Colors, Happiness and Peace, a festival that celebrates a wonderful message and ties in nicely with the social and friendly event of boardgaming. Cubo has a real-time mechanism that is brought forth not with a timer, but rather by a limited resource: the four dice in the center of the table. Gain as many points as possible with your nine dice by composing straights and trips.
