Polycubes are made from cubes that are glued face-to-face without overlap.
In polycube puzzles the player is usually presented with a set of such polycubes and he has the task to assemble them to a certain shape.
Sometimes (especially when polycube puzzles are played on the computer) the cubes will be represented by other tokens.
Examples of polycube games
- Comacube
- Cubewalk
- Fourcube
- Karl's Cubes
- Soma cube
- Sticks Sequence
The video game Block-out is a three-dimensional variant of Tetris in which the goal is to assemble layers of polycubes.
