In Attakube a player secretly places 7 of his 12 cubes on the last row of a 7x7 board. A pictogram indicating a special power is etched on one face of each cube. A cube is always placed on the board with the pictogram facing its owner. When it's his turn a player can either move a piece one space orthogonally, activate a piece's special power or introduce one of his spare pieces. When a special power is activated, the cube is turned so that the pictogram faces up. A player scores points by exiting the board through the first row of his opponent. Exiting in the middle of the board is worth 3 points, exiting elsewhere is worth 1 or 2 points. The first player to score 5 points wins the game.
