3D Dominos is a game played with 32 rectangular prisms made up of two cubes fused together, then colored on the exposed faces in one of two colors. Under pressure of a sand timer, players try to match up faces on a growing three dimensional structure, maximizing their scores by matching the most faces in the most difficult places. In addition to the pieces...
3D Pawn is like a simple 3 dimensional chess, played around a 3 by 3 square cube just using pawns. Players take turns (starting with white) to move a piece. Pawns can be moved forward and sideways but not backward. Pawns can also take diagonally. If a pawn is on its starting side, it can be moved twice in the same direction. Goal: players aim to win by...
A game leaning on the mechanics of risk, although with slightly different rules. The project developed out of our love for the original game, so we made it a hybrid of StarTrek 3D chess and Risk. The entire game was built on a wooden door (cut in the center, so it can be packed up and taken on travels), and several planetary systems (each with planets and...
Trimula appears to be an implementation of 3D Noughts and Crosses. It looks from the box that it was released sometime in the early 70s. The contents consists of a clear plastic 3D game board which can be assembled and disassembled at will, and a more than adequate number of large glass marbles in two colours. However whilst it is a game in a 3 x 3 x 3...
This is one of the N-in-a-row games. The game gird is a 3x3 set of columns, with O or X beads dropped onto them creating a 3x3x3 game play area. As normal Tic-Tac-Toe, play alternates between players with the goal being to create 3-in-a-row. However this can be; Horizontal - all 3 on the same level, Vertical - all 3 on the same post, or Diagonal across...
3D XYZ Chess is played on four levels, with 4x4 spaces each, effectively a 4x4x4 array of cubes. The game thus contains 64 spaces, or cubes, the same number as a regular Chess board. Moreover, each player controls a 16-piece army that is identical to the regular Chess army, albeit with some altered powers. The board is placed with vertical corners (rather...
3D5 by the Lolo Company is essentially a 3D Tic-Tac-Toe game played in a 5x5x5 cube, allowing 109 possible winning combinations. The one twist relative to a simple 5 in a row Tic-Tac-Toe game is that the center space of the cube is a "free" space, that can contribute to five in a row for either player. Optionally, players may specify up to nine additional...
A two player game played on 3 standard chess boards arranged vertically one above the other. The "light" squares are transparent to help see what pieces are where. Each player starts with 16 pieces on each board in almost the same setup as standard chess. There is only one king and he starts in the normal position on the centre board. Kings, Queens and...
3DMILL is a three-dimensional strategy game for two players. Built on an ingenious board frame structure, 3DMILL breaks the limitation of two dimensions and integrates spatial concept into the game, thus stimulates spatial perception, cognitive skills and interactions between players. Inspired by the classic game "Nine Men’s Morris", 3DMILL applies simple...
3OFF is an n-in-a-row/tic-tac-toe based strategy game with a twist. In 3OFF, each player must use their wits to solve a paradox involving eight tokens. Specifically, to win 3OFF, a player must remove all eight of their game tokens from a 4x4 game board. However, prior to doing this, tokens must be lined up vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, in sets...
