Watch “Rubik's Illusion (1989) by Matchbox - Magical Vintage Abstract Strategy Board Game Review - Cube,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Attic Raiders Retro Reviews on YouTube:

Episode 105 Attic Raiders Retro Reviews reflects upon Rubik's Illusion, which was released by Matchbox in 1989; a mind-bending abstract strategy game with links to the original Rubik's Cube. From the manufacturers: "A duel of excellence, where every move deceives the eye and the ILLUSION itself wins the game!" "Rubik's Cube made what seemed impossible into reality. RUBIK'S ILLUSION makes what is real into an illusion, but the illusion becomes an integral part of the real game!" "RUBIK'S ILLUSION is a game like no other game, it is a spectacular confrontation of minds to challenge the powers of sight, thought and visualisation."

About Rubik's Illusion, from BoardGameGeek:

A curious abstract strategy game. The box forms the board; 32 squares plus a mirror which fits at right angles to the board producing a total playing surface of 64 squares. Each piece on the real side of the board has a reflection on the virtual side, which acts in all ways as a real piece. The pieces come in three types; red with red reflection, yellow with yellow reflection, and red with a yellow reflection (and vice versa, of course). On his turn a player can introduce a piece to the edge of the board, slide a piece of his colour or a dual piece or turn a dual piece 180 degrees. The aim of the game is to produce a line of 5 (but no more) pieces of his colour in any direction.
