I have this game and really enjoy it. My kids adore it too, even my daughter who generally doesn't like playing games.

[@christophersmith8316]

Looks like you could also play with teams by alternating shots among the players so nobody would be left out of a game.

[@iwantagoodnameplease]

In my experience the games last about 20 seconds to 5 minutes. Other people don't have to wait long

Oh, the look on her face when Tom asks how many times he beat her :)

This definitely reminds me of Weapons and Warriors. Man I miss that game. It was a fun, thematic, and (controlled) destructive dexterity game, and Cube Quest looks to fill those roles as well.

I never heard of this game until Tom showed it on Board Game Breakfast in his "What's on the Shelf" segment. So I had to watch the review. I am not much of a fan of flicking games or dexterity games, but on the verge of liking some (I do like Pony Express). This almost interests me, it is unique. I won't ever buy it, but I would play it.

Nice review guys! Even though this is not what I was looking for (Vectrex Cube Quest). I found your review fun.

[@Runehorn]

omg weapons and warriors! i still have all those somewhere!

It's a fun game and we enjoy it. Most games take longer to setup than to play, but it's fun. Note that the play-mats do come in a box, folded up. They have creases that only came out with months of time stored in a tube and after repeated applications of a iron. But the game being what it is, you can't get to picky about bumps in the playing area. It's also priced in the under $30 price range. I agree with Vasel - it's a fun, diversionary game.

It does take longer to setup than play most of the time. Not sure if it is a rule or we just started to do it, but we use the box as a screen so each player can secretly setup thier side of the board, then we do a "reveal" which everyone always seems to get a kick out of. We also had the same problem with the boards, I wrote Gamewright and they were awesome and sent me replacements (I just wish the box was bigger to store the boards flat).

[@GuiltySpark1817]

I have read that Gamewright was very cool to replace the creased mats, but just never bothered. That's on me.
It's a fun game.

Ya Tom it's definitely like crossbows and catapults Dice style☺️

[@will5538]

The most annoying aspect of this product is the mats are folded in the box and the even after resting on a flat surface for over a year, there is still uneven bump on the mats! They should roll the mats in the box.

[@Trueflights]

+will5538 The new version of the game has the mat split into 3 pieces and rolled up instead of being folded. If you call/message the manufacturer, they will often send you a set of the new maps for free.

[@will5538]

+Trueflight Silverwing Thanks for the tip! Do you have their contact info at hand? I looked online and only found the publisher is Gamewright, are they the right people to contact for new mats?

[@Trueflights]

+will5538 www.gamewright.com/gamewright/ they have a contact us section on their site

[@olysibthorpe4126]

Sorry will5538 I accidently reported your comment as abuse. Honest it was a genuine mistake, I was trying to reply with the good news that the new version of Cube Quest / (and Rumms too) do come with mats rolled up in the box. Also, Gamewright Games will replace your old creased mats with new flat ones.

[@vinclash7763]

It's a cool game ☺️
