The summer is meteorologically over. Dice Daniel has no understanding of the astronomical approach. Moreover, we have even less understanding of the astrological approach, so for readings, you should look for another site. Anyway, the summer is over, but the warm weather will continue for a while in the likely Indian Summer, so keep that BBQ out.
Although we at Dice Daniel have no understanding of astronomy or astrology, we do know about games and (vegetarian) barbecuing. Get your leather apron, your big cauliflowers, and mushrooms ready, because we are going to have a tasty battle in Barbecubes. There is limited space on this grill, so try to skillfully place your vegetarian snacks without dropping them. Are you afraid of vegetables or care less about animal suffering? For the real carnivores, there is also a meaty version of this tasty game. Something playful for everyone.
During a barbecue, you try to cook your dishes for the optimal taste sensation while the coals are nice and hot (but not too hot). You need to skillfully place your meat (substitutes), vegetables, fish, and such on the grill. There is a lack of space, many hungry people, and you need to turn your food regularly to get the best result without burning (or overcooking) it. Barbecuing is already a kind of skill game. Turning food with an awkward cheap tong or spatula without grip. It is hot, and if you are not careful, you will have burnt paws. Barbecubes is also a skill game and is very similar to a barbecue with your impatient uncles, as there is always too little space on this barbecue.
Barbecubes can be described as a spiritual sequel to Tinderblox. Both games are skill games published by Alley Cat Games. Both games come in a tin, and in both games, you have to place blocks with a plastic tweezer. In Barbecubes, the arena of the battle is at its hottest: the barbecue. Two wooden racks and the tin together form the barbecue, and players take turns placing a piece of food on the rack. Do you drop your food into the barbecue? That is a yellow card. Two yellow cards? Red! And you are out of the game.
Each turn, the active player draws a card from the deck. The card shows which food you need to place and also how (the number of rods the food must touch and also which hand you must use). The food has unique shapes, and not everything is easy to grab with the tweezer. A bit of skill does not hurt…
Do you know that feeling? You go to a barbecue and stuff yourself with the “lighter” snacks like bread, fruit, and sauce? Before the barbecue actually starts, you have already stuffed yourself with ‘side dishes’. Barbecubes is such a side dish. It looks like a fun and small snack, but you can feast on it all evening because you always want a rematch. Barbecubes, like Tinderblox, is a tasty game that you can easily take on vacation or to a barbecue. Laughter, fun, and excitement are guaranteed.
