Rubick's Battle Card Game

Rubik's Battle Card Game - Based on Rubik's cube but easier

 

If you liked the Rubik's Cube but, like me, never hung in there long enough to finish it, maybe Rubik's Battle Card Game is for you. This fast-paced game will require you to scan, think, and respond quickly to win.
 
The 60 cards are bright and colorful, like the original Rubik's Cube. There are six colors featured in total. Each card has a 3 x 3 grid on one side and measures 2 7//8" square. The cards in the image above show you exactly what to expect.

Object:
Collect all the Rubik's cards.

Set up:
Shuffle all the cards and deal them, face-down, evenly between the players. Players keep their face-down piles in front of them.

Play:
Players all play at the same time. On go, all players flip over their top card for all to see. Players quickly scan all the cards that are face-up on the table. The first player to call out a color based on their own card that one of the following criteria, collects all of the cards in play and places them face-down at the bottom of their pile:

• A color on the player's card that is NOT present on any other player's card. For instance, in the example below, player three would call out white to win the round because white is only found on that player's card.
  
• A color on every card in play except for that player's card. For instance, in the example below, player three would call out red to win the round because red is found on everyone else’s card but NOT found on his card. 
  

If a player calls out a color and it is wrong, they must give one card from their face-down stack to each of the players to add to their face-down stack. If no one wins a round, players keep playing, adding more cards to their face-up stack until someone does win a round and wins all the stacks. Your pile of cards will either get bigger or smaller, depending on how observant/correct/fast you are. Play until one person has collected all the cards and won the game.

Try this:

• Practice learning the rules before playing a game. Review one rule and then place three cards face-up on the table and identify a pattern that follows that rule. Keep playing three at a time until you are fast at spotting the cards. Then review the second rule and go through the stack again, finding the cards that follow that rule. Finally put them both together and practice.
• Sort the cards into six piles by color. Hold a deck in one hand and push the top card off with the thumb to separate. Place on the stack with the other hand. I flipped through almost all of the cards and every one had one color that appeared more often than the others.
• Sort the cards into piles by pattern. You can find a pattern of a single color on most every card. Patterns include four corners, letter H, full border, columns on two opposite sides, and X.
• Practice recognizing one color at a time. Place a large, face-up grid on the table. Pick up all the cards that have orange. They pick up all the cards that have green, etc. Keep playing until you have picked up all the cards.
• Work on visual discrimination, figure ground, visual scanning, manual dexterity, processing speed, 6 color recognition, executive functioning skills, process skills, socialization skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
