The Cube is a fast, pass-and-play higher-or-lower card game for 2 to 15 players. Easy to learn, quick to play, and perfect for game night, road trips, or a rainy afternoon. HOW IT WORKS Nine piles of cards sit in front of you. On your turn, pick any pile and call it — will the next card be HIGHER or LOWER? Get three correct in a row and you pass the phone to the next player. Guess wrong and you collect that pile's cards. Flip the exact same card and you collect double. Get two right on the same pile and you're LOCKED IN — nail the third on that pile or it costs you. The deeper a pile grows, the more cards you collect when you miss, so every call counts. When the deck runs out you clear a row or column and keep going until the board is down to the last pile. The player with the FEWEST cards at the end wins. FEATURES • 2 to 15 players — great for any size group • Add everyone's names so the phone always knows whose turn it is • Clear callouts when the turn passes and when you're locked to a pile • Smooth card-flip animations and satisfying feedback on every guess • Skip a turn whenever you want • A full end-of-game summary: time played, cards taken, higher vs lower calls, doubles, and who won • Share the final scores with a tap • 100% offline — no account, no sign-up, no ads, no data collected Deal the cube and see who plays the odds best.
