{"product_id":"qubic","title":"Qubic","description":"\u003cp\u003eQubic, which has been released multiple times by multiple publishers under various names and credited to various designers, is a placement game played on the 64 positions in a 3D board with four levels and a four-by-four grid on each level. The object is to get four in a row, whether on one level or between all four levels, straight or diagonal. It is essentially a Tic-Tac-Toe game in a 4x4x4 cube.\n\nThe cube needs to be emptied before start. Each player choose a color of their pieces and take turn to place their pieces in vacant positions, one piece at a time. The player wins who first gets four in a row of his own pieces - either horizontal, vertical or diagonal. A player cannot remove or replace pieces that have already been placed. If all positions are occupied without anyone having four in a row, then the game is called a tie.\n\nA rule that makes it less advantageous to begin is to prohibit the first player from placing his first piece in either a corner position or in one of the eight center positions.\n\nSimilar to:\n\n    3D Tic Tac Toe - which is played on 3x3x3 grid\n    4tec - which is the same game on the 4x4x4 grid also\n    Flix - which uses dice to control placement of men on 4x4x4 grid \n    Four Letter Words - played on 4x4x4 grid, though with words\n    Q4 - which also played on 4x4x4 grid but with only 12 markers\n    Tetrano - which is the same game represented on a 4x4 board.\n    Qubic - which has a version for 3 players also\n    Score Four - 4x4 grid of pegs that are filled from the bottom up\n    Dimensions (1970), Hi!Noon: Das Duell (2009), Tic Tac Turn (2011), and X: Die 4. Dimension - the 4 individual horizontal board layers (4x4 each) of the 4x4x4 grid can turn\n    3D5 - which is played on a 5x5x5 grid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.58 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don Cornish, Howard Nelson Moore, Rolfe L.
