Cube Engineers Episode 48: No Counters? No Tokens? No Problem!

We are back on the rails again with another exciting episode of Cube Engineers! In the episode, TrainmasterGT invites Lincoln (aka Kapernaumov), the creator of the world-famous Penrose Cube, to discuss the intricacies of designing Cubes without Counters or Tokens. Together, they explore the design constraints, power balancing, and mechanical workarounds necessary to build a compelling Cube without relying on external game objects. How does eschewing counters and tokens impact Cube design? Stay tuned to find out!

All Aboard!
