Description

The Tesseract appeared in our skies six days ago, over the exact magnetic north of the planet. It was the size of a city block. Since that time, it has been condensing, collapsing upon itself. it can now fit in the palm of your hand.

Together, our world's best minds will either find a way to contain and control the reactions of this alien artifact, or its exponentially increasing destructive powers will remove our planet from existence, reconfiguring our space/time to the extra-dimensional needs of its creators.

Are we intelligent enough to shut down the Tesseract, or is humankind simply a blip in the grand scheme of the universe?

In this challenging cooperative, dice-manipulation game, a cube of 64 dice represents the TESSERACT. Your team will disarm it by taking cubes off the Tesseract, adjusting their values, transferring them between labs - and ultimately, isolating them into the Containment matrix.

To win, the matrix must be completely filled by a cube of each value and color, which shuts the artifact down. Remove the last cube or cause too many Breaches to occur - and you lose, destroying our world.
