Ruling

The phrase "take it" is ambiguous only on the surface. In context, it seems obvious to me that Black meant "take the game."

Among all the possible words that Black could use to say he was dropping, he used the word "take" which means the opposite of what he wanted to do.
He could have said "I take it", or "Take", that would have been a take. Or "Take the point", "Drop", "Pass", "Point for you", "It's yours", that would have been a drop.

But Black didn't touch the cube, as far as I understand, so White should have clarified the ambiguity before rolling and anyway White should have waited for Black to press or center the clock, which would have clarified the ambiguity.

So Double/Drop (assuming that the intent of doubling by White is obvious).
