How to play Clever Cubed

At Clever Cubed, data offers strategic opportunities. Prioritize the choice of numbers that maximize your points potential, avoiding leaving data vulnerable to competitors whenever possible.

Those rolling the dice can select up to three different drops. Aiming for the red numbers section can yield more points, but is risky as there are fewer options available. Calculate the risk-benefit ratio.

High numbers are essential for getting better scores in accumulator areas or other specific areas of the game. Balancing risks and rewards when choosing where to place your numbers is crucial to making the most of the game's possibilities.

Monitor your opponent's positions and adjust your strategy as necessary. Also, know when it's best not to score on a particular turn to avoid giving other players an advantage.

Using additional markers can be the key to victory, but use them wisely. Save them for critical moments when you need a strategic advantage or when an ordinary move isn't enough.

Mechanics of Clever Cubed

  • Paper and pen: Each player receives an individual score sheet which is divided into different colored areas, each corresponding to a scoring category in the game. Players use pens to write down their choices and scores during the game. The areas on the paper offer different ways of scoring points based on the combinations and numbers selected. The aim is to fill in the areas optimally to maximize the total score at the end of the match. Careful management of where and when you write down is crucial to achieving a high score.
  • Rolling dice: The game uses a set of colored dice. During a player's turn, they roll all the dice. After rolling, the player chooses a dice to use, writing down the corresponding value on their score sheet. The dice not chosen are made available for other players to use in the secondary selection phase. The value of the dice can be combined with the specific scoring areas on the player's sheet, allowing for diversified strategies and requiring tactical decisions with each roll. Strategic use of the dice is crucial, as they determine the scoring options available each turn.
