Tuesday: want to play a game and see how it works? Its simple...goes 2, 4., 8, and doubles each time its used. If your playing a game, and your doing well and in the lead, you can offer a "double." If your opponent excepts, the die goes to your side and the board and game is now worth double points. ( game goes from normal to 2x point value) As the game goes on and the lead changes, you can offer the double back and now if your opponent excepts the game is now worth 4 times the point value. If you dont want to except the 4x game you can decline the double and you loose 2 points ( the original double amount of 2) So in a 9 point game the first to 9 points wins.
