Octocube: Promo Wave #2

Octocube Promo Wave #2 is a mini expansion that introduces five surprise tiles designed to shake up scoring and long-term planning in Octocube. It is aimed at players who already know the base game and want more tactical tension, tougher decisions, and unexpected twists during play.

During setup, selected Coin tiles are replaced with Surprise tiles and placed effect-side down. When a player performs the Score action, any Surprise tiles magnetized to their cube are revealed and resolved, permanently altering how that cube scores or behaves. Each effect adds a new layer of risk or opportunity, forcing players to adapt their strategy on the fly.

Some tiles reward clever timing and positioning, such as the Wild Object & Color tile that can flexibly count as different elements when scoring. Others increase endgame pressure, like Intense Color, which counts double during majority scoring. Not all surprises are beneficial: the Padlock blocks a cube face for the rest of the game, while the two-tile Curse of the Deep introduces player interaction and a lingering endgame penalty.

These effects heighten player interaction and table tension without significantly increasing rules complexity. Because you can choose how many Surprise tiles to include, the expansion scales easily from a light twist to a much harsher, more tactical experience.

Key features:

• Expansion for Octocube using 5 unique surprise tiles
• Adds permanent effects triggered during scoring
• Increases player interaction and strategic planning
• Modular difficulty depending on how many tiles are used
• Fully compatible with existing Octocube mechanics

Octocube Promo Wave #2 is ideal for regular Octocube players, hobby gamers, and groups who enjoy interactive scoring, tactical disruption, and high replayability. It works especially well for game nights where players want familiar rules with sharper consequences.

Add it to your next game of Octocube and discover how dangerous the deep can be.
