How many cubes should I get to start with? Is there a sweet spot that makes the available games much better?

Per my son I got it for you should get at least 2. They interact with each other and it makes it more fun!

Unfortunately we did not keep the cubes but gave them as gifts. We started them out with five and they seemed to be having fun for the short time we watched them play.

Three is fine too begin with. Purchasing additional cubes is very expensive so it might work out cheaper to buy two starter packs for six cubes total

I was buying them for multiple grandchildren, to occupy them when traveling in the car, or on rainy days when the cannot get outside to play. So the original package of 4 is sufficient if its just you, but the more you add helps to get others involved, and they want to play with you. They can work together, or the extra groups can play a different game. The kids loved them by the way :)

Yes, if you have 2 copies of the game. I have two sets and have played with as many as 9-10 and it is still fun. The games run a bit longer the more people you have but it is still a lot of fun. If you think you will typically be playing with more than 5, I would recommend getting two sets of the game, still worth the additional cost.

I would buy the game with the original number of tiles that the game came with (144) as invented by Abraham Nathanson. The only advantage that I can think of for more would be to replace any that might get lost or if playing with a large group. The game plays well at a fast pace so I don't mind shorter rounds.

I kept mine in the box. Easier to keep it all together. The box is 10"x10"x2". But that's only the starter set. It's fun to use to play once or twice, learn how the game works. But you'll probably want to buy more ships. I ended up buying another core set. It's a great deal, 2 TIEs, 1 X-Wing, another set of dice, for considerably less than you would buy them seperately. Then I bought other ships. So I bought a tackle box to carry it all in. There are plenty of options, but I chose the Plano 1734.Beyond that, yes, all you need is a table to play on. Suggested size is a 3'x3' area. I kept mine in the box. Easier to keep it all together. The box is 10"x10"x2". But that's only the starter set.

Numerical seems like a good approach(1 then 2 and so on). The expansions contain no content that requires a previous expansion. There are 'themed' expansions that do not have a number but are associated with time period or some such thing ( I bought the 90's expansion and the first two 'regular'). So there is no real order required, any set will mix well with the original edition.

there so many answers to that question and yes on all of them, first you get the extra ships and its always fun to have more ships then the dice, some of the expansion cards you get to roll 4 and 5 dice and the one game only gives you 3 then there is the measuring sticks , there never seems to be enough of them so 2 sets is great one for each player and so on and on, and remember to just have fun play on....

If you were able to complete making the first cube, you should have a slot available on the black connector on each side so that you can add a back and two side walls, if you are not able to than you need to disassemble the connector so that you can have a slot available to connect the sides and back to the top shelf which will now serve as the bottom shelf for the top cube, I hope this helped, if not hit me back and I'll try and provide you with a more detailed response.

Bog box is great, but I playa lot of board games with folks. After playing quite a bit of Dominion, I can say that you would be happy with the regular game. Loads of fun with a ton of replay value without needing the expansions.

First off the game is mature audience only. I and crabs adjust humiditity both agree that if you are interested in trying out the game, then ur first investment will be to buy the cards against humanity starter pack. It will come with all the rules (which you can choose to follow or not). I say investment because once you play, you will most likely want more cards. Enjoy and hope I answered your question.

All of the games listed are the complete version with no additional cost. You just choose from the list which ones you want to put on to your computer. They have their first versions of the game (not as good) up to the latest (very good). I have had more fun with that one purchase. It's a GREAT deal!

I think it is worth it. It comes with one game already installed which includes music, a book, and letter writing practice at the very least. I just picked up a bunch of the games for $1.98 at toys r us though if you change your mind.

Might be big depending on your cube space. Its about the size of a 12pack of Coke. Give or take.

One Minimum , Max 4 or more ( depends how many expansion sets or maybe a 2nd whole Firefly : The Game )

Thanks for the tip. I really like GOG.com, but this compilation is MUCH cheaper than obtaining all of the games separately there. Since I'm in no rush I'll check back on this later once the DRM (or lack there of) can be confirmed.

Honestly, it depends on what you're putting in it. Using my leftover pieces, (I bought 3 sets), I've constructed a narrow tower of 3 cubes, propped it against a wall, put it on carpet, and it hasn't budged since. I don't think 4 cubes would really be an issue.

You can use the same cube. : ). When it is close to finishing one section, I move it to the next part. By experimenting on the position, I can do three rooms with two moves.

I have 1000+ games on my SD card. It's awesome! Feel free to contact me if you need help. Best of luck to you.
