The voCUBEulary
Interpreting Your Cube.
"Well, what does it mean?" is what most people ask after finishing the game. The
right answer to that question is, "You tell us." After all, it's your Cube. The
voCUBEulary was created to help.
We can't tell you for sure what your Cube means. But we can tell you what many
types of Cubes (ladders, horses, etc.) have meant to thousands of others who've
played the game.
* Ask your mate, friends, and family what they see in your Cube's imagery.
People who know you well can be surprisingly helpful in finding missing pieces of
the puzzle.
* Free-associate. Anything that pops into your head in connection with your
Cube (Horse, Ladder, etc.) is a vital clue.
* Play with adjectives. If your Cube is metal, for instance, you might say, "this
metal is hard, it's shiny, it's reflective, it's refined, it's stressed... " You're
describing yourself.
