Abstract

A variable geometric board game playable by two or more persons. The game utilizes the six sides of a cube as playing surfaces. The cube is constructed from articulated subcubes that can be rotated about each of three mutually perpendicular axes for changing the playing surfaces. Each of the subcubes has an aperture for receiving marking pegs in accordance with the game rules. The marking pegs are storable in a base unit which interlocks with the subcubes.
