ABSTRACT:
A 3-dimensional, token alignment game which can be played by 2 or 3 people and consists of a 6 sided game box inset with 96 small, rotatable, cube shaped game pieces and a detachable, rotatable base. The 96 game pieces are all identical, each having 4 different colored sides and a shaft through the center which is parallel to the colored sides of the game piece. The shafts are inset into the sides of the game box and they allow each game piece to be turned so that only one of the colored sides of the game piece is visible from the outside of the game box. At the start of a game all 96 game pieces are positioned so that only the same, single neutral color is visible on each game piece. Each player then chooses one of the remaining colors as their own. In succession each player turns one neutral colored game piece so that that game piece shows only their color. This procedure is repeated until a player manages to get 5 of their color game pieces in a consecutive horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. The base consists of 2 disk shaped sections connected by a bearing and 2 "L" shaped legs that connect the base to the game box. When the base is attached, the game box can be rotated around a vertical and horizontal axis.
