## Description
Qwirkle Cubes brings the fun of Qwirkle into the world of dice! The core idea remains the same: create rows and columns where cubes match by color or symbol. Every time you place a cube, you score points for the lines it completes or extends. And if you're the lucky one to close out a line of six cubes, you get an extra bonus! The neat twist here is that each cube has six faces, each with a different symbol, all within the same color. On your turn, you can roll as many cubes from your hand as you wish, play the ones that form the lines you're aiming for, and then draw new cubes to replenish your hand. A cool aspect is that all cubes are visible, so you can get a sense of other players' plans, despite the luck of the dice. The game ends when the reserve pool of cubes is depleted and one player has placed all of their cubes. This player receives a bonus, and the one with the most points wins. It's a fast-paced, visual game that tests your ability to create sequences and anticipate moves.
