User:-Ril-/Karl-Scherer-Spam Polycubes are made from cubes that are glued face-to-face without overlap. In polycube puzzles the player is usually presented with a set of such polycubes and he has the task to assemble them to a certain shape.
Sometimes (especially when polycube puzzles are played on the computer) the cubes will be represented by other tokens.
Sub-types of polycube puzzles
- linear polycubes (also called sticks or rods)
- flat polycubes (includes linear polycubes)
- polycubes with a certain fixed number of cubes.
