IT’S ALL JOEVER NOW.
For the final episode of the Cube Engineers Winter Arc, TrainmasterGT invites one of the most prolific Cube players of all time, Joe Anderson, to share his expertise regarding Vintage Cubes. Together, they trace the history and evolution of Vintage Cube, unpack how “powermaxxing” has shaped players' perceptions of these designs, and explore practical ways to maximize fun without sacrificing depth or replayability. Along the way, Joe offers advice on customizing a Vintage Cube, so it feels unique and tuned to one’s personal tastes. By the end, you’ll be ready to bring a Vintage Cube to your table that not only plays great, but feels unmistakably yours.
