Lofty Luminance - Skyward in Gold - Backgammon Doubling Cube 36mm

About this deal

This is a handcrafted 36mm backgammon doubling cube from the eBay seller Artful Backgammon Cubes, presented in a gold-toned "Skyward" colourway. The doubling cube was introduced into backgammon roughly a century ago and transformed the game; this seller produces their range using cutting-edge manufacturing technology. At 36mm it is a generous, easy-to-handle size, making it a practical upgrade or replacement for a standard set. The doubling cube is a cubical block, slightly larger than a regular die, with the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 marked on its faces, and it is used to raise the stakes of the game and to track which player has the right to double next. At any point during play, before rolling the dice, a player who believes they have an advantage may offer to double the stakes. It suits anyone from club players to keen home enthusiasts looking to add a distinctive, decorative piece to their backgammon kit.
