Cube Handling in Races
I was taught that 6 rolls vs. 6 rolls (e.g. each player having 12 checkers
on the ace point) is NOT a double. Reasoning: one roll later (5 rolls vs.
5 rolls) it is still a take, so better to wait. Well Snowie doubles 6
rolls vs. 6 rolls. In fact, Snowie double 7 rolls vs. 7 rolls!
What am I not understanding?
