What is "JumpingCube"?

JumpingCube is a simple strategy game. It is played by two players. There is a playingfield that is built of squares, which contain points. By clicking the squares the points are increasing, and if the points reach a maximum, the points will jump to the squares neighbours and take them over. Winner is who owns all squares.

The Rules for JumpingCube

A move consists of increasing the points of a square by clicking it. You are only allowed to click a square, from which you are the owner or that has no owner (grey). By clicking a square, that has no owner, you will become the owner.
If a square has more points than it has neighbours, every neighbour will be taken over and increase its points.
Winner is, who has taken over all squares.
