HOW TO USE THE DOUBLING CUBE |
When you have played a few games
you will want to use the "doubling cube".
Set the stakes you are playing for before you start a
match
(say three games.) Each game is started at 1 unit.
The doubling cube is always "turned", never
rolled.
The doubling cube starts the match
on the middle of the side of the board
with the 64 face showing.
This denotes that neither player has yet used the cube
(both players would remember if they had)
The first time the cube is used it will be turned to 2,
the second time 4, the third time 8 etc.
During the course of a game a player who feels he has a
sufficient advantage may propose doubling the stake.
He may only do this at the start of his turn before he has
rolled his dice.
He picks up the cube and places it on the playing surface of
the board
with the 2 face showing and says "double".
His opponent may do 1 of 2 things:
He may refuse the
double by picking up the cube, placing it back on the middle
of the side of the board and saying "drop". In this
case he concedes the game and pays 1 unit.
Or he must accept the double by picking up the cube, placing it on his side of the side of the board and saying "take" and play on for the new higher stakes.
