Learn cubes in three minutes

First light is an interactive tutorial on real boards. Every rule is enforced for real, and when a move doesn't work a hand-written note points at exactly what went wrong.

The chapters

  1. Your Core. Place your first shard so it touches your Core at a corner.
  2. Corners only. Grow your light, and see why sides are off limits.
  3. Get in their way. Take the gap an opponent needs before they do.
  4. Nodes and surges. Collect charge, then Leap over a wall and Spark into a gap.
  5. Shatter. Break an enemy cell to open a path.
  6. Fog. See only what is near your light, misfire once on purpose, then Scan.
  7. Up a dimension. Climb onto an opponent's tower in 3D and crown a column.
  8. Graduation. A short real game against the Ember bot.
