Qubic is the brand name of a four-in-a-row game played in a 4×4×4 matrix. Players alternately place pieces to get four in a row. The first player will win if there are two optimal players. There are 76 winning lines. It was weakly solved by Oren Patashnik (1980) and then strongly solved by Victor Allis.
