About the game
ALPHA CUBES® are a unique innovation in word gameplay that makes it possible to play hundreds of games with a simple set of 5, specifically designed, colored lettered cubes. These games cater to various age groups and skill levels, from beginners to advanced spellers.
Parents, teachers, and homeschoolers can use Alpha Cubes as a learning tool, making spelling and word-crafting a fun activity for kids of all ages.
Participants select colored, lettered cubes and roll them, then use those letters to play various games. Adding an element of chance adds challenge to the games and allows a lesser-skilled person an opportunity to win by rolling better letters. Any number of players can participate in most Alpha Cubes games. There are games limited to just two players for head-to-head competition, and many games can be played as teams.
Alpha Cubes are the perfect gift for young children because as they grow up there are age-appropriate games to play. Some games require a high skill level which allows Alpha Cubes to serve children well into adulthood. Grandparents can gift Alpha Cubes to their grandchildren, and the games can be passed along to future generations.

BASIC GAME SET WITH 5 CUBES AND LETTER TILES
ALPHA CUBES® starts with a basic set of 5 colored cubes uniquely designed with the letters of the alphabet strategically printed on the faces of the cubes. The basic set comes in a convenient small storage container with the pictured items shown.
Inside the storage container are 5 colored cubes with the letters of the alphabet printed on the faces. Each letter of the alphabet appears just once on 1 face of 1 of the 5 cubes.
The blue cube is called the vowel cube because it contains the 5 vowels, E, A, O, I, U, and the sometimes vowel Y. The red cube contains the 5 most frequently used consonants of the alphabet, H, N, R, S, and T. The green cube contains the next 5 most frequently used consonants of the alphabet, D, C, L, F, and M. The yellow cube contains the next 5 most frequently used consonants of the alphabet, W, P, G, B, and V. The orange cube contains the 5 least frequently used letters of the alphabet, K, X, J, Q, and Z.
The blue cube has letters on each face of the cubes, but the other 4 cubes have 5 letters and 1 blank face. This unique arrangement of letters on the cubes forms the basis for the playing of the basic game as detailed in the instruction sheet included in the storage container.
To play the game players select on their turn 1 of the 5 cubes and rolls it. Then the player takes a letter tile matching the letter rolled. If a blank face is rolled the player takes a tile with a square matching the color of the cube rolled. A blank face is considered wild and the player can use any 1 of the five letters on the cube.
The basic game of ALPHA CUBES® is not played with a fixed number of letter tiles. The number of letter tiles needed is dependent on the number of players (which is unlimited) and how the players play the game. Even with a total of 308 letter tiles available it is possible to run out of some necessary tiles. Players will have to improvise if that situation occurs.
