Using the doubling cube

When can you double?

    Normally, you can offer your opponent the doubling cube just before you roll your dice. In this case, you must click either the dice or the doubling cube when it's your turn to indicate whether you want to double or not.

    There are several situations where you cannot use the doubling cube:
    1 When playing a one point match
    2 During a Crawford game
    3 When your opponent has the cube
    4 When you have specifically told FIBS not to ask you

    When you cannot double, FIBS will roll for you automatically; you do not have to click the dice it indicate you want to roll.

How to double

    To offer the double to your opponent, just click the doubling cube before you roll. MacFIBS will pop a dialog box to confirm the double, click OK to send the double message.

    It will take your opponent a few moments to receive and contemplate your offer, so be patient. If your opponent accepts the offer, FIBS will roll your dice for you and you can then take your move. The doubling cube will move to the top of the board window indicating your opponent now possesses the cube.

    If your opponent declines your double, the game (and possibly the match) ends immediately.
