Maestro AndréYou may have noticed that strange object sitting on the side of the board: a die with the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. It's not a playing die — it's the doubling cube.
The doubling cube is a brilliant invention unique to backgammon. It doesn't exist in any other classic board game. And yet, it's what gives backgammon its true strategic depth.
Its purpose? To allow players to double the stakes during a game. It's like being able to raise the bet in the middle of a poker hand.
