CREATIVE PLAYER’S GAMES
cardandcube #3 is a platform for games with square cards. The cards can be rotated in steps of 90°. So they can be in four different orientations. In addition, each card can be all black or all white. Using one card design, 1,296 different geometric patterns can be created from 4 cards in the 2x2 format (card quartets). With various strategies for merging such or larger groups of cards, an almost unlimited number of images can be created. Like in mosaics and tessellation, the card groups can be placed next to each other flushed, offset or rotated. There are 15 playing areas available ranging from 2x2 to 20x30 cards.
At any time, before or during a game, you can choose between four different card designs in cardandcube #3. This game offers different possibilities as compared to cardandcube #2. There is a special feature when using the default card design with the square divided diagonally into two triangles of different colors. It consists of the possibility of creating bistable images and gives the cardandcube card games a unique appeal.
Creating decorative geometric images according to your own imagination is ideal for creative relaxation in your free time or while waiting. You may also be inspired by geometric patterns from the Middle Ages and antiquity. After filling the playing area enjoy changing your creations by switching between the card designs, or by introducing random or systematic changes in the card orientation in selected positions. Make unique irregularities or play to create symmetry and order.
Copies of the patterns can be saved to a clipboard or your device's memory, exported as images and shared or printed. The shared images can then be edited by fellow players according to preagreed rules, whereby the number of moves and the time it takes to solve a graphic task can be recorded and compared among a group of players.
cardandcube #3 offers solitaire, competitive and educational games with similarity to puzzles.
The cardandcube #3 website has instructions for two competitive games, Gulag 1948 and To Freedom! When you open dungeons in these games, you can feel yourself in spirit as a champion of democracy, plurality and freedom. Think of Beethoven's Fidelio or listen to the music as you free the political prisoners held captive by contemporary dictators in the game.
