The Cubes of Europe (2024)

About this game

As a European noble with a small amount of land, you have big dreams of becoming a European noble with a significantly larger amount of land. Cleverly use dice to acquire and place unique cubes, manipulate the game state with their special effects, and score as many points as possible by the end of the game. Disclaimer: This game is directly inspired by Stefan Feld’s The Castles of Burgundy. My goal with this project is to instill that large experience into a solo game that is still playable and fun, using only nine cards, some dice, and a ton of cubes. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
