Summary
Cubitos is a very fun, if somewhat odd, racing game. Those out there who enjoy deck building or bag building games will like a lot of what Cubitos has to offer. There's tons of replayablity built in and the gang and I have had a great time playing. That said, the theming is curious to say the least and might actually turn people away from giving the game a shot. The included boxes you put together, to hold the various dice and tokens, seem like overkill and a silly inclusion. Even with some critiques, Cubitos is sure to please a lot of gamers out there!
