==Doubling cube==

In case the casual violence wasn't good enough for you: try throwing some money on the table, raise the stakes and risk losing your left floating rib.

'''How it works:''' the cube starts the match with the '64' facing up, but that counts as '1'.  Let's say you bet a beer on the outcome of the match.  You win, you get two beers: 1 of yours and 1 of the other guy's.  ''At any time'', a player can take the cube, change it so '2' faces up, and give it to the opponent.  Either the other guy accepts it, or forfeits the game and the beer.  Now both players are betting two beers each.  Whoever's holding the doubling cube can advance it to the next highest number and give it to the other guy, who must accept it or forfeit the game (and the 2, 4, 8 or however many beers were on the cube before you gave up).  Technically, you can go past '64', but at that point whoever wins will be carrying at least three cases of beer away from the backgammon table from a single match, and that is fucking heavy.
