Each player on a team takes a turn making a move with no consulting from his partner. There is full consulting on the cube. Just as in a chouette, when discussing the cube there is no discussion about how the checkers should be played.

It goes far faster than consulting doubles and all 4 players are truly in the game instead of one of the partners dominating.

It is an excellent game to play with 4 relatively equal players or if you have two very strong players and two weaker players and you split them up to have even teams.

In my opinion, it is the way all doubles matches should be played.

And of course I still believe that doubles, in particular, in tournament play, should be with a clock. Only idiots would time out in doubles anyway (like Rory and I did against you.)
