Chess or drafts?


When I take time out from Cubiko I will choose chess, it is right up there as one of my favourite games. I do not play at a high standard but I enjoy the one against one battle of brain power. This mornings game with my eight year old produced this very odd position where his position looks more like drafts!

Making Cubiko - Step 4


Step 4 is the base box. Take 4 off-cuts and mitre the ends to 45 degrees. Make sure the finish of the internal sides of all the pieces are smooth using 240 grade sand paper. Then glue the 4 pieces together to form the perimeter of the box. Cut a piece of 5.5mm ply to 246mm square and glue it to the perimeter so that it forms the base of the box.
