Advantage round

The concept of doubling is very good in this game. A player who thinks that he has got the whip hand after some round may wish to double his asset. But he can do this only at his own chance to dice and before he roll the dice. If the player accepts for the double, then he becomes the owner of the cube. So what do you think about this? I particularly do not like this rule.

I love to violate the rules. Especially when i play with my friends, i would like to deceive them. i will distract them to do this and will make them feel bored in case if there are more chances for them to win the game. lol. but i know i should not be doing this.

Wow cogbuddy! Remind me never to play any games with you. However you have taken the first step to recovery. You have admitted your a cheater, now is the time to take the next step and do something about it :P

lol. i agree. but then i think that violating the rules makes the game so unfair. so i think we should try not to violate the rules for a fair game.

What?you called him a cheater? I also find that rule very inappropriate, it's still better to win a game on fair way.

lol. because you said you love to violate the rules. but then i think that even if you don't want to do it, you just want the game to be very thrilling and you're just having fun.
