This is the famous Tic-Tac-Toe puzzle game cube in three dimensions. This free game version has been modified so that the player who begins does not always win. The objective in this Cluster Game Cube is to form two rows in "L" shape (90 Degrees Angle). The computer plays with the red spheres and you with the blue ones.
To get the "L" shape, you have to get 2 rows of marbles, and those rows have to form an L. Given that this is a 3D game cube, it takes a lot of thinking to figure out actually where your marbles are placed in this puzzle.

Rotate the 3D Game Cube to view the posibilities by placing the cursor outside the game cube, and dragging the mouse with the left button pressed.
Click within the cube to place a sphere (it turns gray) temporarily.
In order to locate the sphere you drag it while pressing the left button of the mouse .

When the sphere is in the desired location double-click on the sphere, it changes to blue color. The computer places a red sphere, and you play again... successively.
The buttons under the word Skill are for selecting the level of game difficulty, so the computer thinks more.
Click on the lower left button to start a new cluster game cube.

Tip: Observe the computer the first time around to see its strategy. Try to trap it by having several ways to make an "L". Try to tie with the computer and then after quite a few cluster games you will be able to win amd move to the second skill level.
