Chroma Cubes (2014)

About this game

ChromaCubes is a strategy dice game with coloring (with crayons). Players collect sets of colors to complete sections of a picture. The earlier you finish each figure in the picture, the more points that figure is worth. Each die has a different distribution of colors, and players can trade dice to manipulate the probability of rolling a particular color. Turns are simultaneous, minimizing downtime.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
