There
are nine numbers which require a minimum of 7 cubes making a total of
63 cubes required for the game. Each number requires a different
quantity of numbers to create the whole.
The
centre is a vertical line and two horizontal lines creating a 3D
cross. The game starts showing only one face of a Bagua its your job
to add the other 18 cubes to complete the pattern of a Nine Star Ki
six sided Bagua.
You
know all the centre numbers are 1 and each of the six faces will show
all nine numbers only once. Good luck. Thats the game beyond here is
for Feng Shui and Nine Star Ki lovers.
Note
that the numbers swing from water strongest to fire strongest
alternately except in 5 Earth which is strong in both water and fire.
No.
1 Water Element 7 Water dominates – 1 supports 3 Tree/Air (3) –
6 Metal supports 1 Water (3) and Earth both 5 & 8 are controlling
1 Water (3) these are the secondary strong numbers. The lesser
numbers are 2,4,7 and 9 which have only 2 cubes each. Strong in
1,3,6,5 & 8, weaker in 2,4,7 and 9. The same rules apply for all
numbers.

two sets ever produce the same batches of strongest or weakest.
This image is the face of the cube to the left and the rear of the cube to the right, fill in any one face with the numbers of the Nine Star Ki Bagua and then fill in the blanks. Enjoy. X
I am in the process of having some blocks made to play the game and will give you images of them as soon as they arrive.
To start you off you can find all the bagua numbers in this blog but number 1 would be :
9 - 5 - 7
8 - 1 - 3
4 - 6 - 2
Fit this to a face and away you go. x
