The Doubling cube
The doubling cube, a quite new addition to the game, is a dice with the numbers 2,4,8,16,32 and 64 on it.
the doubling cube invented to make close matches (when both players have good chances of winning) much more interesting.
in any time a player's turn, before he rolls the dice, he can offer a double to the other player (but only if he have the right to double ,I'll explain in a moment). The other player can agree the double, which makes the game score double than before (before the first double, gammon worth score of 2, after it , gammon worth 4, if you double one more time it worth 8 and so one).
the other player also have the right to decline the double, thus quiting the current game and the other one gets a point for winning (or more if they double the game earlier too).
