Time Cube | |
---|---|
Designer | Kevan |
Date | 11th February 2002 |
Players | 2-4 |
This is a playable deck - it's finished, tested and ready to play. | |
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.) | |
Print this deck | |
This deck is locked. Further cards should not be added - leave feedback on the talk page. |
"You are educated stupid and can't compute a Time Cube." Disinterested science versus delusional paranoia - all terminology, card titles and quotations are taken from timecube.com.
Special rules
Corners
At the start of the game, each player takes one Corner from the deck and puts it into play under their control. If a player only has one Corner in play, that Corner cannot be destroyed or otherwise taken from them. If a player ever controls more than four Corners, excess Corners are immediately destroyed.
Corner Actions
Some Actions have one or more 'Corner Numbers', shown in the top right corners of the cards - they can only be played by a player who controls one of the specified numbers of Corners. (For example, Cubic Power is an action that can be played by a player with two, three or four Corners, but not by a player with one.)
