Cube Checkers

Is a challenging, new, easy to learn game. It introduces a completely new dimension to checkers, which allows a player to create strategies that simply cannot be found in regular checkers or chess. While checkers and chess are two dimensional and one level games, CUBE CHECKERS is a three dimensional, six level game.

CUBE CHECKERS adds a roll-over move which increases the power of a cube checker at a moment's notice. This allows a player to use and develop his or her creative abilities instead of memorizing repetitive playing patterns.

What makes CUBE CHECKERS so special? Instead of the repetition of playing patterns and moves, CUBE CHECKERS introduces two changes that drastically increase the menu of strategic choices. First, the traditional checkers' game piece has been exchanged for a cube with one through six labeled on the sides. Second, players are allowed two moves on each turn--the first move consists of the regular checkers' move and the second move allows the player to roll a cube over to the next highest number. Thus, players can protect their cube from a jump by simply rolling over to a higher number than the attacking cube. When a cube reaches the maximum number of six by performing the roll-over or is moved to the end row of the opponent, it becomes a king. By introducing the rollover move to traditional checkers it sends checkers to... THE CUBE DIMENSION!

CUBE CHECKERSTM is a great game for kids. It will challenge their minds and stimulate their creativity. It will help them to develop logical thinking and strategic planning abilities and it will also help to send their mathematical skills to a new dimension. On its simplest level, CUBE CHECKERS is the perfect game to help teach kids the principles of "greater than," "less than" or "equal to." FROM THERE, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

The Sequence of Moves: Players are allowed two moves each turn. The first move consists of the regular checker's move, and the second move allows a player to roll over any cube (except for the one just moved) to the next highest number.
