All About Cubes

All About Cubes is a placement game that uses temporary alliances, strategy, and board actions to screw over who you think is in first. Discussion, deals, persuasion, and even temporary treaties to take down first place are allowed and encouraged, but no deal is ever binding. Turns are fast in this game, but there is still strategic depth. Players will attempt to take control of tiles to gain special abilities, which will either help themselves or hurt their opponents.

Victory Condition: Be the first player to remove all the cubes from your box!

Game-play: The game consists of two phases:

 placing cubes on one of many tiles in order to take majority control over the tile.
 Activating the tiles. Each one has a special ability that either helps yourself, or hurts one of your opponents. But because the scoring is hidden no one knows for sure who is winning, therefor deflection and manipulation to change who to attack is an open table discussion.
